Did you know? When you received a hotfix for a previous Data Protector (minor) version, you should make sure the hotfix is included in the patch bundle before applying the patch bundle. This is recommended for customers which may have received the hotfix right before the release of the patch bundle. If your hotfix is not included in the patch bundle open a software case and ask for assistance.
The 9.07 upgrade introduced a new undocumented ‘security fix’ that broke our windows cell manager reporting / logging scripts.
I was told yesterday on the phone, that it is no longer possible to call a Post-exec script from any other folder than OmniBack\bin, where putting the full path in quotation marks used to work for us up to 9.06
Simple solution of course is to use a script in that location to call the one(s) that are wanted. But if only we had known in advance.
