Dear visitor,

Effectively manage omnirc options
Data Protector is highly customizable product with a wide range of configuration options. While the any global options applies to the whole Cell, the omnirc configuration file allows the user to tweak a specific client or just a module on that client system. It you have to manage a large amount of individual clients this can become a management challenge to make sure the right omnirc options are present on the right the client system.
Over the years several ways to deal with this has been found, e.g. the script omnircsync.pl (available in the download section) using the util_cmd -setomnirc push functionality. This functionality is adopted with the release of Data Protector A.10.03 into the product. We want to share some pretty handy use cases and examples of the new omnicc -update_omnirc command.
It allows to push one omnirc option (key/value pair) at a time and you can select a specific operating system type, client systems with a specific agent installed or a set of hosts in a comma separated list or from a input file.
omnicc -update_omnirc omnircName -value omnircValue
[{ {-module moduleName1 [,moduleName2,..]} |
{-client_os osName1 [,osName2,..]} |
{inputFile | {-hosts hostName[,hostName2,..]}} }]
Options:
moduleName = da, ma, cc, mssql70, oracle8, vepa, (as found in cell_info file)
osName = gpl, microsoft, sun, ... (as found in cell_info file)

Data Protector 9 – GR Patches 9.09 (Build 117)
The General Release Patches A.09.09 (Build 117) for Data Protector 9 has been released on April 4, 2018.
The 117 GR Patches must be installed on top of the 115 and 116 GR Patches (which requires Patch Bundle 9.09).
It is recommended to install all the GR Patches as a group regardless if the updated components are used or not. It should be applied on all Installation Servers (IS) and Cell Managers (CM) in the correct order. Then push the new packages from the IS to all relevant Data Protector client systems that have relevant components installed to get the latest fixes into effect.
This patches can also be installed locally on Windows Data Protector client systems if the Patch Bundle has been installed locally. In this case only components that were locally installed on the client will be updated. Linux and UNIX clients still require an Installation Server while updated packages can be extracted from the Linux or UNIX Installation server manually.

Data Protector 10 – Updated Release A.10.03 (Build 181)
Data Protector A.10.03 (Build 181) has been released on March 30, 2018.
While you might expect a Patch Bundle, Micro Focus decided to simplify the upgrade and installation by delivering a full build. Data Protector 10.03 does not require any previous version to install the latest version of Data Protector in a new environment, you can as well upgrade directly from Data Protector 8.1x. 9.0x, 10.0x to version 10.03 – there is no need to install Data Protector 10.0x as upgrade step.
Data Protector 10.03 is a fully featured Media Kit and therefore currently not available in the Software Support Online (SSO) Portal for download.

Idea Exchange for Data Protector
There has been an interesting addition to the Micro Focus Software Community on March 12th 2018. The new Idea Exchange portal offers an easy way to share your ideas on how to improve Data Protector and influence the product future. This special part of the Software Community is moderated by product management and you can directly submit your own feature requests or vote on existing requests to speed up their implementation.
The Idea Exchange will replace the existing Enhancement Request process via the SSO portal to make the whole process more transparent for the end user. So if you have urgent requests I strongly encourage you to submit them via the Idea Exchange, vote or simply join the discussion. It is open for all existing customers with an active SAID linked to their Software Passwort account.
