Cause

The BEMCLI switch expects the use of wildcard characters.
 

Resolution

Workaround:

Use wildcard characters in the BEMCLI command to search files/folders within the catalogs.
Get-BEAgentServer "Win2k16" | Search-BECatalog "Test\DIR-1025*" -PathisDirectory

 


Note: Backup Exec UI (not BEMCLI) limits the search to show 10000 entries only, hence BEMCLI may be used. ( As noted in the problem section)


There are currently no plans to address this issue by way of a patch or hotfix in the current or previous versions of the software at the present time. While this issue may be resolved in a future major revision of the software at a later time, it is not currently scheduled for any release. If you feel this issue has a direct business impact for you and your continued use of the product, please contact your Veritas Sales representative or the Veritas Sales group to discuss these concerns.

 

Issue/Introduction


Search result may not come up when BEMCLI command is used to search absolute path for a file or folder in catalogs.

Get-BEAgentServer "Win2k16" | Search-BECatalog "Test\DIR-1025" -PathisDirectory
Note: BEMCLI command does not show any results since * is missing.

The above command shows no results unless "Test\DIR-1025" is replaced with "Test\DIR-1025*" (Notice the * after DIR-1025)

Note: BEMCLI may be used because Backup Exec User Interface Catalog search yields only 10000 results as seen below.
