Roadmap for restoring data with Optim on distributed platforms

Use this roadmap to guide you through the restore process with Optim™ on distributed platforms.

To restore data:

  1. Create a restore request
    Use the restore request editor to define parameters for processing the restore request. These parameters include the source archive file and processing options. You must also create an insert or load request for the data.
    • Create an insert request

      An insert request defines parameters for inserting data from an archive file into a destination database.

    • Create a load request

      A load request specifies how the load process reformats the contents of an archive file into a format that is appropriate for a particular DBMS loader.

  2. Run the restore process

    Use the restore request editor to run the restore process. The restore process selects data from one or more archive files and restores the data to the original or to a different database.
