Restart process using the Restart Swap utility

To restart processing using the Restart swap utility

1. Execute FRFREST0. Specify the DBD name of the database being reorganized on the PARM parameter of the EXEC statement.If the database is a HALDB, the AMSOUT data set is a PDS, and selected partitions were specified. Specify the partition name provided in message BMC180221I following the DBD name, separated by a comma.
2. Include the AMSOUT data set that was created during the reorganization job.
3. Include the same IMS libraries (RECON, RESLIB, IMS, and so on) that were used in the reorganization job. If you made DBD changes, you must also specify the former IMS DBDLIB. If you do not, the restart step fails.

4. Do not include any DD statements for the databases and image copy data sets.

   Warning

   The Online Reorg function and the Reorg function always require exclusive control during the data set name swapping process. If you attempt a multiple step JCL allocation, exclusive control is lost and the database becomes unavailable.

   The following figure shows sample JCL. This sample is also included in member RESTART of the sample library.

   Note

   If you are running restart for a job that included the GROUP subcommand, run only one restart job. You can include the name of any one of the databases from the GROUP subcommand for the PARM keyword, but only one restart job should be run. Restart automatically runs for all of the databases.
