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.

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.
