This report shows a summary of data protection operations relative to the CommCell's Data Protection Window specified in the Cell Configuration (Data Protection Window).
With this report, you can determine how well your data protection window is being utilized, and particularly the number of jobs completing outside the window for the selected client(s) or storage policy(ies).
Window Utilization Overview Chart
For only those jobs that begin in a given day's data protection window, this chart shows how many completed, failed or were killed, and/or were incomplete inside that window. Jobs that do not complete inside the data protection window are counted as incomplete, whether or not they eventually finish. On a given day, it will not include jobs that begin either before or after the data protection window.
Click a section of a bar to see a Data Protection Detail Report with a listing of individual data protection operations. In the Data Protection Detail Report, you can double-click any entry to access the Job Detail screen, which provides more space for Failure Reason, Attempt and Copy information to be displayed.
Week Days Chart
Shows the number of jobs that started and finished inside the data protection window, as well as those that finished outside the window, in grids of two hour intervals. For each day with data protection operations that begin inside the data protection window, the bar starts at the beginning of the data protection window, and extends, either until all the data protection operations that started inside the window are completed, or until the beginning of the next data protection window. No bars will be shown for days on which no operations began inside the data protection window. Note that colors only indicate whether activity is inside or outside the data protection window, not the completion or failure of individual jobs.
Place your cursor over the segments of the bar in a given day, and compare the distribution of jobs that start and finish at various times within your data protection window. Do this same comparison across several days, to see if it is a consistent pattern. This can expose periods of high resource contention within your window.
Click a bar to see an additional chart showing a further break-down of that day's data protection operations by application; then click a segment of a bar in the new chart to see a Data Protection Detail Report with a listing of individual data protection operations. Look at start times, duration, interruptions, multiple attempts, and reasons for failure as aids in determining the underlying cause of failures. In the Data Protection Detail Report, you can double-click any entry to access the Job Detail screen, which provides more space for Failure Reason, Attempt and Copy information to be displayed.
Week End Chart
Shows the same information as the Week Days Chart, except that it shows jobs that occurred during a weekend, in six hour intervals.
