You can perform a service recovery operation on a service instance
that you have previously configured in the Service Recovery page,
instead of running the recovery job during the process of creation
of the recovery request. In certain situations, you might require
a set of service instances to be defined separately, before you want
to run the recovery task on all such services. In such cases, you
can perform the recovery, independent of the recovery job creation,
at a future time.
Partially recovered services are available on the Recover Service
landing page, from which you can select one or more services and click
on Recover button. After you click the Recover button, a pop-up dialog
box is displayed, in which you need to provide the necessary attributes
such as the customer for which the service is created and a meaningful
description of the service. Once the user clicks on Start the Service
Recovery Request job starts. After the job is completed, all the configurations
for all the devices will be retrieved, but only those configurations
that match the filter are processed and populated in Service Recovery
page.
An important point to note here is that the recover action
only discovers all the possible services that can be recovered from
the device. They are not yet stored in the Connectivity Services
Director application database. Their status will be initially marked
as Partial as shown in grid.

configured service instance:
