Running the XML import wizard on the client
NetBackup for Oracle includes an XML import wizard that solicits information from the user about the desired import operations. The wizard uses the information to create a template. You can use the template immediately, or you can save it for later use.
The NetBackup for Oracle XML import wizard saves an XML import template locally in a user-specified location on the NetBackup client. XML import templates are not stored on the server because a restore is always user directed, not scheduled. Typically, you run an XML import template immediately and then delete it.
The restore process requires a password for Oracle database access. Templates store encrypted passwords that are decrypted at runtime.
To start the XML import wizard
- Start the NetBackup Backup, Archive, and Restore interface.
On UNIX and Linux, from the command line, run the following command:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/jbpSA &

Database objects that can be imported are listed under the Users node. The tool displays only the schema owners and objects accessible by the current user login.
- Expand the Users list to the schema owners of the objects to be imported.
- In the right pane, select database objects that exist in the archive to be restored.
- Choose Actions > Restore.

The screens are as follows:
Welcome

If you need an explanation of any of the fields on the wizard screens, or more details, click Help on the wizard screen.

When you have completed the wizard, the Selection Summary screen displays the summary of the XML import template.
You can choose to run the template immediately after the wizard finishes, save the template locally, or both.
