Report Routing for MPC and REINIT Jobs

By default, CA VM:Backup sends the MPC or REINIT job detail report to the virtual reader of the user ID that created the job template file on the local system (destination node). If the authorized client specified the REPDEST and REPNODE parameters on the REPORT record in the TPI job template file, CA VM:Backup routes the report to user ID specified by the authorized client. If the user ID specified to receive the report is invalid, CA VM:Backup routes the report to the virtual reader of the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine.

CA VM:Backup can send the report in a designated virtual printer spool class. The default printer spool class is the class of the first virtual printer indicated in the response CA VM:Backup receives from the CP QUERY VIRTUAL UR command at system initialization. If a printer class is not defined, CA VM:Backup uses the default class A. If the authorized client specified the REPCLASS parameter on the REPORT record in the TPI job template file, CA VM:Backup sends the report in the class specified by the authorized client.

For an MPC or REINIT job, CA VM:Backup uses the information specified with the PULLUSER parameter of the TPI REPORT record to determine whether to generate the tape pull list report and what user ID to send it to. If the PULLUSER NONE parameter is specified on the TPI REPORT record, CA VM:Backup does not generate the tape pull list report. If the PULLUSER userid parameter is specified, CA VM:Backup generates the report and sends it to the specified user ID. If the PULLUSER parameter is not specified or if the PULLUSER SYSTEM parameter is specified, CA VM:Backup generates a tape pull list report if the PULLUSER record is specified in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file; if there is not a PULLUSER configuration file record, CA VM:Backup does not generate a pull list.

For more information about the TPI REPORT record, see the Template Programming Interface Guide. For more information about this configuration record, see PULLUSER Record.
