Restart methods

If an error is returned during the initial processing of a worklist, inspect the diagnostic output to determine which job step caused the error.

Depending on the error, you might need to restart the worklist.

The Execution component uses one of the following methods for restarting a worklist:

  • Restart processing resumes execution of the worklist after a failure occurs.

    The RESTART keyword in the AEXIN input stream indicates that Execution uses restart processing. Typically, you use restart processing after a utility worklist command fails. For more information, see Overview-of-the-restart-process.

    Tip

    To restart a worklist, see Restarting-a-worklist.

  • Startover processing completely reruns a worklist from the beginning of the worklist, or from the beginning of the second phase of a two-phase worklist after a failure occurs.

    The STARTOVER keyword in the AEXIN input stream indicates that Execution uses startover processing. Use startover processing after generating a subsequent worklist or multiple worklists for the same work ID, or when you have extensively edited or altered a worklist and cannot restart it. For more information, see Overview-of-the-startover-process.

    Warning

    We recommend that you use restart processing to restart a worklist.

    Tip

    To start a worklist over, see Starting-a-worklist-over.
