Ah! I wasn't aware of that. There is a tool named CAReports that you can execute on the command line.
L4ts, run "CAReports /?" to get the syntax. I did a quick test using r11.1 and it is pretty simple to use.
1. Create a report by running the ReportWriter wizard.
2. When you reach page 2 do not Generate the Report, just save the report as an xml file.
3. You can run the report by executing CAReports:
e.g.
C:\Program Files\CA\BrightStor ARCserve Backup>careports -r "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\query.xml" -s -o output.xml
-r is used to specify the input xml file
-s tells the command to run silently. i.e. don't start the GUI
-o specify the output file name
4. Using the Job Schedule Wizard you can set this up to run at specific times. You could probably run this as a post command to your backup jobs, but I would not suggest it. There will be a time lag between the time that the job ends and the time that mergecat finishes merging all the cat files into the database. If you run a report right after the backup then you may not capture all of the information about the job. You can use the job schedule to execute the query later in the day.
5. If you are abitious you can create a script to mail the report or just run the output to a htdocs or
of your web server.
