View actions in ADBM

In ADBM, an action means any API call, SQL request, or internal procedure that starts when backup configurations or operations related to backups and DR are being applied.

Each action can trigger several other related actions — subactions.

List of actions

To view a list of actions, follow the steps:

  1. Open the Backup Manager page via the ADB Control web interface. The Actions section of the next page contains a table with general information on actions for all available ADB clusters.
