Comments The comment command can be used to add comments to a job. You can also comment-out other commands. See also job comment command. E-mail from jobs A job (each job instance) can send e-mail messages. Job instances can send e-mail messages that you write and they can also send predefined job status notification messages. See SendEmail and SetNotificationPolicy, respectively. Exits Exit commands identify termination points in a job and can help provide confirmation of success or failure. HP recommends the following best practices for using exit commands: • Include at least one successful exit command in a job. • Include a successful exit command for each branch of the job that can result in successful termination. • If you create branches in a job to handle failures, conclude each with a failure exit command. See job exit command. Implicit jobs When responding to certain requests, the replication manager may create and immediately run a job. Such jobs are called implicit jobs. Implicit jobs are not saved and cannot be edited. When an implicit job runs, it appears in the Monitor Job window and the Events pane. See also job implicit job startup. Implicit job startup When clicking OK or Finish to perform an action on a resource, the window or wizard immediately closes and the Monitor Job window appears. This is normal operation. To perform your requested action, the replication manager creates and starts an implicit job. It is not necessary to leave the Monitor Job window open. If you close the window, the implicit job continues to run. Imported jobs Replication manager jobs that have been imported from legacy HP Business Copy 2.X jobs include special comments to help resolve potential command conversion issues.
