Specifying Report Guidelines

In the Report Guidelines section of the Work with Restore Template template screen, specify the following information:

• Detail level of reports that restore jobs produce (including keyword data reports)
• Where CA VM:Backup is to route the reports
• Whether CA VM:Backup is to create a keyword data report

Note: For a complete description of keyword data and other reports, output listings, and notes that CA VM:Backup generates during restore jobs, see the System Programmer Reference Guide.

Detail Level

Select one of the following fields in the Detail Level field to set the level of report detail:

File

CA VM:Backup produces a report that contains detailed information about each file that is restored. The report lists file attributes in a format similar to what the CMS LISTFILE command with the DATE option provides.

Minidisk

CA VM:Backup produces a report containing general information about the minidisks that are restored. This option is the default.

Route to

Specify the following information in the Route to field to specify where CA VM:Backup is to route the report that the restore job produces:

Userid At (node)

Use these fields to identify where CA VM:Backup is to send the report. By default, CA VM:Backup sends the restore job report to the virtual reader of the user ID that created the job template file in the local system (destination node). This option is the default.

To send the report to another user ID, type over the default user ID. To send the report to another destination node, specify the destination node. If the user ID that you specify does not exist, or you specify SYSTEM for the user ID, CA VM:Backup sends all output to the virtual reader of the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine.

Class

CA VM:Backup can send the restore job report in a designated virtual printer spool class. The default printer spool class is the class of the first virtual printer that is indicated in the response that 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.

To override the default report class, specify the desired class.

Data that is restored to a virtual reader is always sent with spool class A.

Note: This routing specification does not include keyword data reports. To obtain a keyword data report, use the GETRPT command. For more information, see the "GETRPT Command" section in the System Programmer Reference Guide.

Keyword Data Reports

A keyword data report is a CMS file that is produced by a CA VM:Backup job and contains records describing the results of that job. These reports are designed for use by programs that process information about CA VM:Backup jobs. To indicate whether you want CA VM:Backup to create a keyword data report for the job, select either Yes or No in the Keyword Report field.

Yes

CA VM:Backup produces a keyword data report.

No

CA VM:Backup does not produce a keyword data report. This option is the default.
