View and modify the data collector registration
The data collector collects metadata from NetBackup and sends it to Veritas Alta View or Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. To receive data from the data collector, you need to register Veritas Alta View or NetBackup IT Analytics with the data collector.
Note:
Either Veritas Alta View or NetBackup IT Analytics can be registered with a single data collector at a time.
