Command to execute if job completes with no error This command will execute if the job completes
with no final error. A job can complete with no error, even if all hosts are offline. This does not m ean
that anything was backed up, it just means that the job was not cancelled, or there wasn’t some other
major problem executing the job.
Command to execute if job completes with error This command will execute if the job completes with
an error, such as no specified devices, or operator cancelled. This does not mean if any of the objects
selected by the job fail to be backed up/restored/ or verified.

parameters. For instance cmd.exe /c explorer.exe or c:\windows\explorer.exe.Amacro

Reference Guide for more information.
Run command on all hosts selected in job, as well as the Backup Server When checked, processes the
command on all machines selected in job. When unchecked, only runs the command on the Backup
Server.
Number of minutes to wait for command completion This value in minutes specifi es how long the
application should wait for the command to return. By default, it is set to Forever, meaning the application
will wait for as long as possible for the command to complete. If set to something other than Forever,the
application will terminate the command forcefully if it do es not return in time.

Domain Level Barcode Filters
Many tape libraries suppor t the use of barcodes to identify media. Each piece of physical media has a
unique barcode that the tape library can read.
The Barcode Filter page allows you to define barcode filters for a job. The filter rules may be set for
the whole domain and will be applied automatically to all jobs. O r, they may b e set and applied at
job level, using this page. Any filter rules applied at job level overwrite the default domain settings. All
options will be grayed out initially. Deselecting Inherit settings from domain will enable the editing
buttons and allow you to create job-specific filters.
Filter rules
There
are three ways of assigning barcode filters.
Add an
individual barcode
This o
ption allows you to specify an individual barcode for inclusion or
ex clusion. Up to 8 characters may be specified in this filter; the first6relatetothevolumeidentifi er and
the last 2 relate to the media identifier. Wildcards may be used to increase the number of barcodes
sele
cted by the filter.
