Jobs and Operations

Most actions in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are defined as jobs.

For example, assume that you associate some VMware instances with an SLA Gold policy. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates a job, names it “vmware_Gold”, and starts this job at the scheduled day and time, as defined in the SLA policy. You can pause and resume this scheduled job, and you can start it manually as well. The job can run multiple times, and for each time, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus creates and manages a job session. Every job session has a job log that contains records of actions that were taken. If a job session fails, you can see the job log and identify the cause of the failure.
