Restart process

• Post-processing tasks fail.
• You postponed data set name swapping.

Do not use the restart process to restart a reorganization job that failed before post-processing tasks began. If a reorganization job failed before post-processing phase began, you must resubmit the reorganization job with a REORG command in the PLUSIN control statement data set.

The restart process will complete successfully only if the reorganization job had started the post-processing phase. Message BMC90043I POST PROCESSING STARTED is issued when post-processing tasks begin. Before executing the restart process, ensure that message BMC90043I was issued.

You can complete the restart process in either of the following ways:

• Execute the Restart Swap utility (program name FRFREST0). BMC recommends using this method. The AMSOUT data set that was created during the reorganization is required. For more information, see Restart-process-using-the-Restart-Swap-utility.
• Use the reorganization job JCL, and replace the REORG command with a RESTART command. Remove all input/output data sets except for the AMSOUT data set from the reorganization job. The AMSOUT data set that was created during the reorganization is required. For more information, see Restart-process-using-the-reorganization-job-JCL.

When you execute one of the restart processes, all remaining IDCAMS ALTER commands, DBRC notifications, and/or image copy restores are completed. The databases remain in NOAUTH status so that you can verify that all IDCAMS ALTER commands, DBRC notifications, and/or image copy restores have completed successfully. You must reset the NOAUTH flag manually using the DBRC utility.
