Restore configuration workflow

Start of change The restore configuration workflow can only be performed on a zCX appliance version 1.26.0 or higher. End of change

Restore configuration workflow path: /usr/lpp/zcx_zos/workflows/restore_config.xml

This workflow will restore a previously backed up zCX instance configuration. You can back up a zCX instance by running the back up configuration workflow. Only one backup can exist at any given time, and the restore configuration workflow will display the both description of the backup and the date it was created.

The restore configuration workflow asks you to provide:

The unique name of the zCX instance to restore
The zCX instance registry path, if not specified in the workflow variables input file.

The following table provides descriptions of the variables needed to restore configuration:

Table 1. Restore configuration workflow variables
Variable	Description
`ZCX_BACKUP_INFO`	This is a user-specified description that will be associated with the IBM zCX backup configuration using the workflow. This description will be displayed in the restore configuration workflow to communicate the contents of the backup configuration.
`ZCX_BACKUP_DATE`	This is the date when the appliance instance configuration was backed up by the backup configuration workflow. This variable will be displayed when using the IBM zCX restore configuration workflow.
