Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Reports

Can I Hide the RMAN Log Details in the Backup Job Summary Report?

Yes. By default, when you include failed objects in the Backup Job Summary Report, RMAN log details appear for each selected Oracle client. You can exclude these details from the report by setting the bSkipRMANLog registry key in the CommServe.

To set the registry key:

  1. On the Web client computer, open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe or Redegt32.exe).
  2. Navigate to the Custom Reports folder.

    For Example:

     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Commvault Systems | Galaxy | Reports

  3. Right-click Reports, point to New, and then click String Value.
  4. In the Name box, enter bSkipRMANLog.
  5. Right click the bSkipRMANLog key that you just created, and then click Modify.
  6. In the Value box, enter 1.
  7. Click OK.

For more information, see the entry in Registry Keys.
