Specifying and using restart parameters
The following table summarizes two approaches for specifying and using restart parameters. One approach allows the High-speed Apply Engine to generate the restart ID; the other approach uses a restart ID that you specify for each apply request (but not for each run).
For more information about these parameters, see RestartID or RestartType.
Type of run / restart | Using generated RestartID | Using specified RestartID |
|---|---|---|
Initial Run | RestartType=New Do not specify RestartID | RestartType=New/Restart RestartID=yyyyyy The yyyyyy variable represents a unique restart ID that you specify |
Subsequent Run (Previous Run Successful) No Restart | RestartType=New Do not specify RestartID | RestartType=New/Restart RestartID=yyyyyy |
Subsequent Run (Previous Run Unsuccessful) Restart | RestartType=Restart RestartID=xxxxxx The xxxxxx variable represents the restart ID generated during the previous unsuccessful run (provided by message BMCAPT0097) | RestartType=New/Restart RestartID=yyyyyy For advantages and disadvantages of this technique, see Step 2.b in the Restarting-an-apply-request topic. |
Subsequent Run (Previous Run Unsuccessful) Bypass Restart (Start at beginning of file) | RestartType=New Do not specify RestartID | RestartType=New RestartID=yyyyyy |
