Comments

The comment command can be used to add comments to a job. You can also comment-out other
commands. See also job

Comment command

and

Commenting-out commands

.

E-mail from jobs

A job (each job instance) can send e-mail messages.

Job instances can send e-mail messages that you write and they can also send predefined job
status notification messages. See

SendEmail

and

SetNotificationPolicy

, respectively.

Exits

Exit commands identify termination points in a job and can help provide confirmation of success
or failure. HP recommends the following best practices for using exit commands:

Include at least one successful exit command in a job.

Include a successful exit command for each branch of the job that can result in successful
termination.

If you create branches in a job to handle failures, conclude each with a failure exit command.

See job

Exit

command.

Implicit jobs

When responding to certain requests, the replication manager may create and immediately run a
job. Such jobs are called implicit jobs. Implicit jobs are not saved and cannot be edited.

When an implicit job runs, it appears in the Monitor Job window and the Events pane. See also
job

Implicit job startup

.

Implicit job startup

When clicking OK or Finish to perform an action on a resource, the window or wizard immediately
closes and the Monitor Job window appears. This is normal operation. To perform your requested
action, the replication manager creates and starts an implicit job.

It is not necessary to leave the Monitor Job window open. If you close the window, the implicit job
continues to run.

Imported jobs

Replication manager jobs that have been imported from legacy HP Business Copy 2.X jobs include
special comments to help resolve potential command conversion issues. For example:

Task

Line

// This job was imported to RSM from an existing BC job,

1

import note >

// which included the following operations:

2

// [line 1] SNAP UNIT Array2 Cats\ACTIVE $BCV1 SNAPCLONE_HSV
