Subclients - SRM SQL Agent - How To

Add a User-Defined Subclient

To add a user-defined subclient:

From the CommCell Browser, right-click the Subclient node, and then click New.
Enter the desired configuration in the Subclient Properties (General) dialog box.
If applicable for your agent, enter the desired configuration in the Subclient Properties (Content), Subclient Properties (Filter) and Subclient Properties (Security) dialog box.
Click OK.

NOTES

After adding a subclient, you must run an Analysis level data collection job on all subclients associated with an agent for reports to reflect the changes.
For NAS subclients, Case Sensitive Paths must be selected from Subclient Properties (General) dialog box.

To edit a subclient:

From the CommCell Browser, right-click the subclient name that you want to edit and click Properties.
Change the desired configuration in the Subclient Properties (General) dialog box.
If applicable for your agent, change the desired configuration in the Subclient Properties (Content), Subclient Properties (Filter) and Subclient Properties (Security) dialog box.
Click OK.

Before You Begin

You can rename a subclient at any time. However, we recommend that you don't rename a subclient while a data protection or archive operation is running on that subclient.
In cases where a subclient is renamed using the same name as a deleted subclient, the system will append a Unix time stamp to the deleted subclient's name in data protection job history reports and views to distinguish the two subclients. For example, subclientname_1104257351.

To rename a subclient:

From the CommCell Browser, right-click the subclient that you want to rename, and then click Properties from the shortcut menu.
From the Subclient Properties (General) tab, or the QR Agent Subclient Properties (General) tab, type the new name in the Subclient Name field, and then click OK.

The CommCell Browser updates the subclient with its new name. The new name will also be reflected in any associated schedules and reports.

To delete a user-defined subclient:

From the CommCell Browser, right-click the user-defined subclient that you want to delete, and then click Delete from the shortcut menu.
A confirmation message is displayed, asking if you want to delete the subclient.
Click No to cancel the deletion and retain the subclient, or click Yes to continue the deletion. If you click Yes:
- the subclient, and any data that may have been protected/archived by the subclient are logically deleted, and you can no longer access the corresponding data for recovery/retrieve purposes. However, the data remains valid for the length of time specified by the associated retention period. Some agents allow you to browse data from a deleted subclient provided that the Browse Data Before date and time precedes the time that the user-defined subclient was deleted.
- for agents that support a default subclient, once the user-defined subclient is deleted its contents are automatically reallocated to the default subclient the next time a data protection/archive/discovery operation is run on the default subclient to ensure data protection coverage.
- the system deletes the selected subclient node and removes it from the CommCell Browser.
- the system deletes any data protection/archive and recovery/retrieve job schedules that are associated with the subclient.
