Changing the Default on a Permanent Basis

Since the bpdbjobs database resets to default conditions upon reboot or cycling NetBackup Services, you may want a more permanent means of indicating how long to keep jobs in the Activity Monitor.

Add the following entry to the bp.conf file:

KEEP_JOBS_HOURS = 192

Where 192 is the number of hours that all jobs (both successful and unsuccessful) will be kept in the jobs database (or Activity Monitor display).

To retain only successful jobs, add the following entry:

KEEP_JOBS_SUCCESSFUL_HOURS = 192
