Creating a z/OS restore service

You can use the New Restore Service wizard to create a z/OS® restore service.

A restore service selects data from one or more archive files and restores the data to the original or a different database. A restore service request specifies the archive files and defines the insert or load request used to restore the archived data.

A restore service requires an Optim™ logical data model to provide the source data.
To create a restore service:
  1. From the Data Project Explorer, right-click the Services folder and click New > z/OS Service > z/OS Restore. The New Restore Service wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must enter a name for the service and select the Optim data source, logical data model, and data access plan used to create the source file.

    You must also enter names for the archive and control files, enter a table map name, and specify options for the restore process. You can also specify selective restore properties.
