Script controller
9 BackBox H4.00 VTC Scripting Option
Artificial delay waited between a failure and a retry.
Default value is 10.
BBOX_SCRIPT_TEMP_DIR
Windows directory used to create temporary files.
Default value is current directory.
BBOX_SCRIPT_MAX_THREADS
Number of concurrent threads per queue
Default value is 1
BBOX_BACKUP_SIZE
Number of MB
Maximum total size of Windows files to process in a single subscript
execution. The goal is only to avoid extraordinary long script executions.
Default value is 102400
BBOX_SCRIPT_SORT_MAX_DELAY
Number of minutes.
The controller will alter the execution sequence of requests still waiting in
queue and initiated recently, i.e. initiated in the last specified number of
minutes.
Default value is 0.
BBOX_TSM_CURLY_BRACKETS ON | OFF
This is for special cases where TSM needs clues to interpret the original
backed up or archived file name in order to identify the original node and file
space. Without curly brackets, the TSM symptom is “archive / backup not
found”. The presence of curly brackets is not an inconvenient even if they are
not needed – but only in the very few contexts that were explored.
This parameter should be used as second choice solution when several
archives / backups are present in the TSM server, but not retrieved by the
regular TSM dsmc command. Contacting IBM support is recommended to
avoid this artifice as much as possible.
Sample TSM command without BBOX_TSM_CURLY_BRACKETS:
retrieve -PRESERVEPATH=none -replace=all
“\\192.168.15.85\SHARE1\WITH BLANK\LBVTW001.IND”
“\\192.168.15.79\SHARE2\WITH BLANK\\”
TSM command modified by BBOX_TSM_CURLY_BRACKETS ON:
retrieve -PRESERVEPATH=none -replace=all
“{\\192.168.15.85\SHARE1}\WITH BLANK\LBVTW001.IND”
“\\192.168.15.79\SHARE2\WITH BLANK\\”
