send email in windows platform

This is my mind for 3 years. It is good for database monitoring, if it can be done by a perl script, however no initiative to follow up.

Yesterday, boss is not around & no urgent task at hand. a leisure Friday.

Googled and got some sample script. However not work with my environment, could be due to my lower version SendMail.pm.

Finally find below key lines from existing netbackup script.


$smtpSvr = "(smtp server)" ;

use Mail::Sendmail;

%mail = ( To => "yourid\@domain",
From => "yourid\@domain",
Message => "test message2 ",
Subject => "test sms2 from windows",
smtp => $smtpSvr,
);

sendmail( %mail ) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error;


Note that a "\" is needed before the "@".




3 years x mans versus 1hour 1 man effort. What do we learned from this case ?!

brrestore with error BR458E

BR458E Information about backup file %s not found in log header.

* Explanation: All the backup files must be described in the log header of the selected BRBACKUP backup. This is not the case. This could indicate an internal error, or the log was changed manually.
* Program response: Processing terminated.
* User action: If the log was changed manually, change it back and repeat the operation.


Vendor told us ready to proceed brrestore after SAP software installed.

The backup was taken in production with 6.4 version Netbackup agent for SAP. Howerver during brrestore in other server, the version is v6.2.

brrestore –c –b -m full

--note that the v6.2 brrestore can still work fine to restore individual v6.4 backed up files.

After asking vendor to upgrade to 6.4. everything goes smooth. 9pm in the night already.

Vendor ah, how can I trust the famous saying during project kicked-off meeting " no eat, no sleep" .
