Overriding the original access definition to select archived data to restore

The restore service allows you to select a subset of archived data to restore by overriding the original access definition for one or more Archive Files specified in the restore service. With this option, you can specify unique selection criteria for each Archive File whose original access definition you want to override.

To select a subset of archived data to restore:

  1. On the Restore Service Editor, Archive File tab, select the row for the Archive File whose access definition you want to override. Right-click in the row and select Override Access Definition. The Override Access Definition tab opens.
    Note: You can view the access definition that was used to create the Archive File on the Original Access Definition tab.
  2. On the Tables tab, select a table row. Right-click in the row and select Add Selection Criteria. The Add Table Specifications wizard opens. Specify table and column level selection criteria. You can repeat this step for other tables in the access definition.
  3. You can also specify relationships, variables, and point and shoot list options on the Override Access Definition tab.
  4. You can specify a subset file name rather than have the restore service automatically generate the subset file. Enter the name for the subset file in the Process Details tab at the bottom of the Archive File tab.
  5. Save the override access definition.
