Hi Aaron. To remove the active job form the job monitor, you will want to do the following:
1) Shutdown Netbackup 2) Move the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/jobs/bpjobd.act.db file to bpjobd.act.db.<date> (directory listing shown below). DO NOT move the bpjobd.db file. 3) Restart Netbackup. The bpjobd.act.db will rebuild itself. The above steps were for Unix, but the equivalent can be performed in Windows. Hope this helps.

The FAQ-O-Matic says I need to restart NBU and manually delete the db files? Is this accurate or is there an easier way to clean these buggers up? Thanks.
