Data Protector helper tool – clicker.exe
Have you ever required to select a large number of individual files maybe for restore and the selection could not be made on the above folder, because too much would then selected? And when selecting individual files still hundreds of files must be selected for the restore? The selection of the individual objects is tedious and may take some time to complete. Here the little tool “clicker” could jump in. You specifies the number of “clicks” required, press “Start” and go into the Data Protector GUI (in the example restore) and select the first object you need to select, the remainder is automatically selected. Thanks to Sven Donath, he had the idea for the tool, and we used it quite often in a project some years ago. The link to the download and the source (C# project) can be found at the end of the article.

Script Execution with DP 9.07 – increased security
With the introduction of HPE Data Protector 9.07 further action has been taken in the direction of security. Performing pre- and post-exec scripts might no longer permitted after the upgrade and instead an error is displayed.

Session post-exec script C:\test\startme.cmd failed. Exit code = 2.
Reason: running scripts and binaries is only permitted in the bin directory of the installation (/opt/omni/lbin – HP-UX, Linux oder Solaris; /usr/omni/bin – other UNIX systems or OMNIHOME\bin – Windows). The usage of absolute and relative paths (for example: c:\scripts\test.cmd, /home/scripts/test.sh or ../../../home/scripts/test.sh) outside of bin is no longer permitted. Likewise, executing Perl is no longer possible and can not be used as a pre- and post-exec script directly (e.g. perl.exe myscript.pl parameter1). However, it is possible to use batch files instead (e.g. startme.cmd parameter1) in which then the actual script is called. Hence the possible values have been adjusted for the corresponding omnirc variable OB2OEXECOFF – 0 Pre / post-exec scripts will be ran (with the restriction on the path) and 1 Pre / post-exec scripts disabled.
With these adjustments, the scripts can then run again.

The exec script "startme.cmd" has completed.
