DPA Standard Query
I would like to start using standard queries, however I have not been able to get one to work.
I would like to create a simple query that contains all backup clients containing LON for instance.
Would someone know what settings I should use to obatain this?
I have tried to follow the guide on page 83 of the DPA manual, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The following steps should allow you to create a standard query node for the below description:
- in the DPA GUI
- select Tools, Node Editor
- select New, Query
- in the Node Properties select a Type of "Standard Query" and give the query node a name e.g. All LON Clients
- select the Query tab
- in the report field click on the "..." and select the report "Backup Client Configuration"
- in the Filter section select Edit
- in the Condition Expression window select "Add condition" and add a condition of:
Field Name: Client
Operator: contains
Value: LON
- select Ok, and Ok
- in the Window field select a Time Window of "Now"
- in the View field select a view of "Configuration"
- in the Nodes field select the node(s) you want to return the LON clients from e.g.a group containing multiple backup servers or a single backup server
- in the Node Conversion section select:
Children Type: Backup Client:
Server Name Field: Server
Backup Client Field: Client
- select Ok to create the query node
You can now assign the query node to a view. I would recommend creating a new view and assigning it there (or assign it in an existing custom view) and keep the Configuration view clear for configuration data.
