Job Return Codes (RCs)

The result of every past job is sometimes represented by an integer: Job Return Code (RC). You can see the RCs in the command-line interface and the Java-based DPX Management Interface: in the Job Monitor page and Job Report.

Tip.

The job RCs are not used in the HTML5-based DPX Management Interface.

The “rc” parameters are also used in the REST API.

The job RCs are defined as follows:

RC	Description
0	Success. The job was successful.
1	Job canceled. An operator terminated the job.
2	All backup tasks have completed and have been cataloged, but not all files have been successfully backed up.
4	Partial failure. One or more tasks failed; the successful tasks were cataloged.
8	No data. No files were backed up; during an incremental or differential backup no new or modified files were found; pre-script failed.
16	Fail. Job failed; no tasks cataloged.
32	Partial cancel. An operator terminated the job, but one or more tasks were successful and were cataloged.
64	A restore job that required hardware decryption completed successfully, but the tapes used are not secured.
99	Job failed.
