Hi
I've configured 6 chained jobs in the GUI but after running the first one it doesn't continue with the second one or any of them, it just stops.
Having tried to run them a couple of times I realized that in the status email I received when the first job was done, it said:
Chained backup --on-error: backupid-
Chained backup --on-success: backupid-
Notice there is no backup Id
Then I edited the first Job and it was like this (all the others were the same):
--backup-id=00001 \
--description="Backup Linux" \
--on-success=""backupId->00002"" \
--on-error=""backupId->00002"" \
--exec=yes >> "/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/xsi-dir/var/logs/xsibackup.log"
And there was the problem. Somehow the GUI assigns the on-success an on-error parameters to a value with a two double quotes at the beginning and at the end, so that's why I guess when the application reads these 2 parameters as empty (or blank or null or anything without a value)
After changing the job to this (and all the others as well), the problem was solved:
--on-success="backupId->00002" \
--on-error="backupId->00002" \
I hope they fix this bug in a new release soon.

Backup Ids must be three digit numeric strings from 000 to 999

In that case the application should only accept 3 digits and not 6 digits.
I tried with 3 digits and the application also writes the job with the duplicated double quotes.
Anyway it works with 3 or 6 digits BUT removing manually the duplicated double quotes.

The application does indeed check the backup Id is three digits long, maybe you are using some older release.
We'll check and eventually correct any quotes being doubled issue.
Thank you for your feedback.

The double quote issue will be addressed in 11.2.1 as well as the three digit format check. You were right in that it's not checked in the GUI, sorry about the misinformation. It is stated in the Man Page though.
