Importing a Subset Definition

There are three methods of import:

• Import a subset definition XML file from the desktop

• Import a subset dump

• Import a subset definition XML file from the Software Library

To import a subset definition XML file from your desktop:

1. From the Actions menu, select Import, then select File from Desktop.

2. In the pop-up that appears:

   • Specify a name for the subset definition

   • The ADM on which the subset is based

   • A source database

   • The location on your desktop from which you want to import the subset definition

   • Click Continue

3. In the pop-up that appears:

   • Enter a descriptive job name (or accept the default)

   • Provide credentials

   • Schedule the job

   • Click Submit

   After the job runs successfully, the imported subset appears in the list of subsets in the table on the Data Subset Definitions page.

To import a subset dump:

1. From the Actions menu, select Import, then select Subset Dump.

2. In the pop-up that appears:

   • Select a target database

   • Provide database and host credentials, then click Login.

   • Specify the location of the dump file, which can be in a selected directory on the target database or at a custom path on the target. Note that if the original export action used an external location for the dump files, the location must be specified as well.

   • Click Continue.

3. In the pop-up that appears:

   • Select whether to import both metadata and data, or data only. If data only, indicate if you want to truncate, that is, overlay existing data or append to existing data.

   • Perform tablespace remapping as necessary

   • Perform schema remapping as necessary

   • Select log file options

   • Click Continue

4. In the pop-up that appears:

   • Enter a descriptive job name (or accept the default)

   • Schedule the job

   • Click Submit

   The job reads the dump files and loads the data into the selected target database.
