Cloud Staging Area by Defining Target Groups | Teradata Data Mover - User Defined Target Groups - Teradata Data Mover

The necessary configurations on the Data Mover DSC are:

• Creating AWS S3 account
• Creating two target groups (one for backup and one for restore) and linking to the AWS S3 account
• Creating a target group map that links the backup and restore target group

A sample cloudstagingarea.xml file for creating a cloud staging area with user defined target groups is:

{
    "name": "cs2-cloudstagingarea",
    "storage_type": "S3",
    "source_target_pairs": [
        {
            "source_system": "sourceSystemA",
            "source_system_target_group": "my_source_target_groupA",
            "target_system": "targetSystemB",
            "target_system_target_group": "my_target_target_groupB"
        },
        {
            "source_system": "sourceSystemA",
            "source_system_target_group": "my_source_target_groupC",
            "target_system": "sourceSystemC",
            "target_system_target_group": "my_target_target_groupD"
         }
    ]
}

You need to provide the following details in the cloudstagingarea.xml file.

• source_system_target_group
• target_system_target_group

When you run the command to create cloud staging area, the Cloud Staging Copy Service validates the source_system_target_group and target_system_target_group for each source and target pair, as following:

• The target groups exist.
• The target group map is linking the two target groups.
• The AWS/buckets specified in the target groups are same.
