BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS options for UNIX master servers

Use BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS entries to customize the output of the bpdbjobs process. Add a BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS option for every column you want to include in the output.

Add BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS entries to the bp.conf file to customize the output of the bpdbjobs process.

Table: BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS information

Usage	Description
Where to use	On a UNIX NetBackup master server.
How to use	Add BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf file. Add an entry for every column to include in the output by using the following format: BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = COLDEFS_ENTRY [minimum_size [true \| false]] The following variables are defined: COLDEFS_ENTRY is the name of the column to include in the output. minimum_size is the minimum column width. If not specified, the default is a width of 5. true indicates that the column should expand as needed. If not specified, true is the default. false indicates that the column should not expand beyond the minimum_size.
Example	The order of the entries determines the order in which the column headings appear. BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = JOBID 5 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = TYPE 4 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = STATE 5 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = STATUS 6 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = POLICY 6 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = SCHEDULE 8 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = CLIENT 6 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = DSTMEDIA_SERVER 12 true BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS = ACTPID 10 true The appearance of BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS entries in the bp.conf file has the following ramifications: The addition of any BPDBJOBS_COLDEFS option overrides all default columns. All users on the local system see only those columns that are specified in the bp.conf file.
Equivalent Administration Console property	No equivalent exists in the NetBackup Administration Console host properties.

Table: COLDEFS entries shows possible COLDEFS entries and the column which is created by each.
