Use the New Service wizard and Restore Service Editor to
create a restore service.
The fully qualified name of a restore service consists
of identifier.name.
- identifier
- Identifier that serves as the prefix for the restore service name
(1 to 8 characters).
- name
- Name assigned to the restore service (1 to 12 characters).
When you create restore services, it is helpful
to use a logical naming convention to identify the use for each service
and to organize them for easy access.
To create a restore service:
- Expand a folder in the Directory Explorer to contain the
service, right-click Restore Services, and
click . The New Service wizard opens. Complete the steps of the
wizard.
- During the creation of a restore service, you must select
the Archive File(s) that contain the data you want to restore. You
can locate Archive Files by entering search criteria or browsing for
a specific Archive File.
- Click Locate file in Optim directory to
search for Archive Files using criteria you specify. You can enter
text to filter the search. Click Filter Options to
specify the Archive File component to search on (that is, file name,
server, description, file path, or group). You can also specify a
file creation date range to limit the number of Archive Files returned.
Click Display Files. The Archive Files that
match your search criteria are displayed in the table.
- Optionally, click Browse to an Optim file to
browse for a specific Archive File.
- When you have selected the Archive File(s), click Finish.
The new restore service is displayed in the Restore Service Editor.
- On the Restore Service Editor, Archive File tab,
click either Insert Service or Load
Service to specify the restore method.
- Select an Archive File row. Click Add Service.
The Insert Service or Load Service wizard opens, depending on whether
you clicked Insert Service or Load
Service. Complete the wizard to create the service.
- When you choose to create a new local (embedded) or named
service, the Select a Table Map wizard opens. Complete the wizard
to map the tables in the Archive File to the destination database
tables. Click Finish. The Table Map Editor
opens. Click in the Target Data Store Alias column. Select the target
data store alias from the list. Click in the Target Schema column
and select the target schema from the list. Save the table map.
- On the Insert Service Editor or Load Service Editor, specify
processing, load, and report options, as required.
- Save the insert service or load service.
- On the Restore Service Editor, click Validate to
check that the selected Archive File is valid and uses the same data
model as the corresponding insert or load service table map. If an
Archive File is not valid, the Status column displays the appropriate
status (that is, Inaccessible, Invalid, Unregistered, Not Found).
If the Archive File data model does not match the corresponding insert
or load service table map, a popup message describes the mismatch
and the Archive File is moved to the appropriate data model.
- You can add and remove Archive Files in the restore service.
- Save the restore service.
