Retrieve Application jobs via the API

[costas]

Hi

Does anybody know if there is an end point in the VBR 12 REST API to get all application jobs i.e. jobs that have been created and managed from a client machine (typically used to backup apps like SAP).
They appear in the Applications subsection of the Jobs tab in the VBR console. Some people call them application plugin jobs.
I can not find anything relevant in the API.
I came across 2 Powershell cmdlets :
Get-VBRApplicationBackupJob
Get-VBRPluginJob

Unfortunately i can not test them right now but if anyone things that they can do the job, please let me know.
Cheers

Hi,

We haven't covered application backup jobs in VBR REST API yet, but we consider it a long-term possibility.
The cmdlets you mentioned are exactly what you are looking for. The difference is Get-VBRApplicationBackupJob will fetch application jobs managed natively by VBR, and Get-VBRPluginJob will get you those managed by application plugins.

Best regards,

Hi Oleg

Thanks for the information. Powershell complicates things for me, our app is built to make REST calls and calling Powershell scripts is more complicated.
Maybe if these jobs were visible in Enterprise Manager, things could be easier?

Thanks

Hi Costas,

We stopped enhancing EM REST and switched our focus to VBR REST, so I'd say currently Powershell is the only way.
But I noted your question as a feature request for VBR REST.

Best regards,
