BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option

Script controller
4 BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option
When the parameter BBOX_GENERATED_LINE is present, the temporary file contains
an Enterprise Backup command per file to process. This file is to be used as standard
input of the Enterprise Backup client in the subscript.
When the subscript ends, the script manager accesses all the files processed in the
subscript. The file existence and Archive bit setting tell if the file was processed
correctly. Files not processed are kept in queue on a file-per-file basis for retry.
The script controller sends messages to NonStop EMS to report execution of
subscripts, statistics and retries status.
The script controller runs as a Windows service automatically started by BBBACKUP
or BBRESTORE program, unless the service is disabled in Windows Services
All parameters specific to the Script Controller are provided as parameters of the
BBBACKUP or BBRESTORE command. The value of global parameters is set by the
last startup of BBBACKUP/BBESTORE.
