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
