to copy required test data and return a test environment to a required state.
Before you perform a reset, you must deploy a
data pack
to create the workflows required for reset.
You can run a task to view related data before you run a reset task to compute the results of a task that includes reset criteria.
If the target is a PWX for NRDB Batch connection, you must manually delete the files in the target before you run the reset task. The reset copies the data in the
data pack
but does not delete the target data before it copies the data.
In the
Overview
view, search for the required
data pack
.
Click the
Reset
button.
The
Reset
dialog box opens.
Select the target connection from the list of connections.
Select the connection where you want to replace the data as the target connection.
If the target is a PWX for NRDB Batch connection, enter the target file name. For single-record sequential files, enter the target schema name.
Optional. Configure additional settings for the reset operation:
Truncate Tables. Select this option if you want to completely replace the data in the target connection with data from the
data pack
. TDM deletes all data in the target and copies the data in the
data pack
to the target. TDM disables constraints and indexes when it performs this operation.
You cannot choose to truncate tables if the target is a PWX for NRDB Batch connection.
Reset Criteria. Enter reset criteria if you want to reset specific data from a
data pack
. Enter row-level tags as reset criteria.
Select the PowerCenter Integration Service to use for the reset operation. You must select the service that you configured in the Test Data Manager Service.
Choose to run the operation or schedule it to run later.
