I am automating dfm backup create archive [filename] command through workflow.I want to know some static pattern in the output to implement logic.

Can you share the exact output of this command?

Are you trying to automate taking of dfm backup using WFA?

Here you go:

C:\Program Files\NetApp\DataFabric Manager\DFM\bin>dfm backup create archive
Disabling Performance Advisor.
Copying keystore for backup ...
1 File(s) copied
SQL Anywhere Backup Utility Version 16.0.0.1644
(74614 of estimated 74614 pages, 100% complete)
Database backup completed
Waiting for existing writes to stop, which could take a few minutes.
Please be patient ...
Creating the archive ...
Verifying the archive ...
Enabling Performance Advisor.
Completed backup C:/Program Files/NetApp/DataFabric Manager/DFM/data/dfm_backup_5.2.1_CMode_2015-05-14_01-49-13.ndb.

C:\Program Files\NetApp\DataFabric Manager\DFM\bin>

But it takes some time to get completed depending on the size of your DB. So take care of the command time-out issues.

Isuggest you use ZAPI to get this done instead of running CLI command using ssh. But this is again a design choice.

warm regards,
