Classifying paths using DQL reports
You can create a Data Query Language (DQL) report for the paths that you want to classify and use the report to initiate a classification action.
For more information about creating DQL queries, see the Veritas Data Insight Programmer's Reference Guide.
To initiate a classification request from the Reports tab
- On the Management Console, click the Reports tab.
- From the left-hand side pane, select Custom Reports > DQL Reports.
- Configure a DQL report either by using the built-in classification templates or by writing a custom query to suit your requirement.
For information about creating a DQL report and to review the template queries for classification, see the Veritas Data Insight User's Guide.
In the DQL query, make sure that the path.device.name, path.msu.name, type, and name columns are specified.
- Do one of the following:
On the Remediation tab of the Create Report wizard, select Classify to automatically submit all input file paths in the report for classification.
If you want to classify only the new or modified files, click Save and Run
If you want to classify the whole Dataset or if you have changed policy, condition or tags configuration in VIC, uncheck the box and click Save and Run.
If you want to apply specific VIC policies to the classification request, check the Select VIC policies per Classification Request box, select required policies from the drop-down and click Save and Run.
Or, after the report is run, from the DQL reports list page, select the report. Click Select Action > Actions > Classify to submit all files in the report for classification.
If you want to classify only the new or modified files, click Classify Now on the confirmation pop-up.
If you want to classify the whole Dataset or if you have changed policy, condition or tags configuration in VIC, uncheck the box and click Classify Now on the confirmation pop-up.
If you want to apply specific VIC policies to the classification request, check the Select VIC policies per Classification Request box, select required policies from the drop-down and click Classify Now on the confirmation pop-up.
Once the classification action is complete, you can review the tags assigned to files either by creating a new DQL report for the same paths or on the
summary pane.See Viewing classification tags.
You can also choose to push the classification tags to Enterprise Vault when archiving them.
