IBM Security Verify

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up an automated backup for the Virtual Appliance SDS 8.0.1. I scheduled a daily backup using the WebAdmin Tool and download the files via the REST-API. In order to synchronize the process of creating the backup and downloading the files to a backup server, it would be useful to get the status of backup (scheduled<g class="gr_ gr_831 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Style replaceWithoutSep" id="831" data-gr-id="831">,running</g> <g class="gr_ gr_851 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="851" data-gr-id="851">etc</g>..). Unfortunately, the status is only shown in the UI of the WebAdmin Tool but not in the LDAP itself. I found in the 6.4 Version that there was <g class="gr_ gr_1090 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace" id="1090" data-gr-id="1090">a entry</g> cn=backup,cn=monitor. I can't find that entry in the SDS 8.0.1. I only found cn=RDBM Backup,cn=configuration(Image below). But it doesn't contain the status of <g class="gr_ gr_1979 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="1979" data-gr-id="1979">backup</g>.

I took a quick search on cn=monitor - but according to the formal 6.4 doc there is no cn=backup,cn=monitor unless I have missed it : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSVJJU_6.4.0/com.ibm.IBMDS.doc_6.4/ds_ag_srv_adm_server_cn_monitor.html
I have also looked in a ISDS 6.3 systm - nothing there either.
I did some searching on Google - and a hint is maybe here : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVJJU_6.4.0/com.ibm.IBMDS.doc_6.4/ds_ag_srv_adm_config_run_dir_backup_cmd.html
It may be that the WebAdmin tool uses the idsldapexop command with some undocumented -action switch - but that is only a guess.
I remember that I traced the WebAdmin tool once by putting on trace in a full WAS - this is a somewhat tedious thing to do - but fun if you have the time - there may be better ways of tracing it I have to say...

I hope one of our SDS gurus can enlighten us...

Subject: Get Backup Status of SDS LDAP Server

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up an automated backup for the Virtual Appliance SDS 8.0.1. I scheduled a daily backup using the WebAdmin Tool and download the files via the REST-API. In order to synchronize the process of creating the backup and downloading the files to a backup server, it would be useful to get the status of backup (scheduled ..). Unfortunately, the status is only shown in the UI of the WebAdmin Tool but not in the LDAP itself. I found in the 6.4 Version that there was  cn=backup,cn=monitor. I can't find that entry in the SDS 8.0.1. I only found cn=RDBM Backup,cn=configuration(Image below). But it doesn't contain the status of .

Does anyone have an idea where the Web Admin Tool gets the status of the backup and where I could retrieve it from and could point me in the right direction?

Best Regards,

Hi,
Please refer to https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/backup-and-restore-procedures
Click on "Backup & Restore using Client Tools" tab. I have discussed several command line methods in there. 

To know the the status of a backup, we need to run the ldap search against the admin server port. (step 8)
I hope this helps.

The hint regarding running the ldap search against the admin port did the trick. Thank you for your help!
