NBBSAGetMultipleObjects

Initiate a restore of a list of objects

SYNOPSIS

#include <nbbsa.h>

int NBBSAGetMultipleObjects(BSA_Handle bsaHandle, NBBSA_DESCRIPT_LIST * descriptList)

DESCRIPTION

NBBSAGetMultipleObjects() prepares the NetBackup XBSA interface for retrieving the data of multiple XBSA objects that are from the same backup image. It validates the descriptor list, checking that all of the copyId's are valid, that all of the objects are part of the same image, and that the object descriptors are in the correct order. Then, it initiates a connection with the NetBackup server to start the retrieval process for the objects. If any of the objects don't exist, the operation is aborted. When the multiple object restore has been started, the objects can be retrieved in order using the BSAGetObject() - BSAGetData() - BSAEndData() calls.

PARAMETERS

BSA_Handle bsaHandle (I)

The handle that associates this call with a previous BSAInit() call.

NBBSA_DESCRIPT_LIST *descriptList

Pointer to a list of objectDescriptors that are to be retrieved.

RETURN VALUE

The following return codes are returned by this function:

BSA_RC_ABORT_SYSTEM_ERROR

System detected error, operation aborted.

BSA_RC_ACCESS_FAILURE

Access to the requested object is not possible. Cannot retrieve object with given copyId.

BSA_RC_INVALID_CALL_SEQUENCE

The sequence of API calls is incorrect.

BSA_RC_INVALID_COPYID

A value in the copyId is invalid.

BSA_RC_INVALID_HANDLE

The handle that is used to associate this call with a previous BSAInit() call is invalid.

BSA_RC_NULL_ARGUMENT

A NULL pointer was encountered in one of the arguments.

BSA_RC_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

The given copyId does not exist.

BSA_RC_SUCCESS

The multiple object restore has successfully been initiated.
