Parameters and Commands › PROCESS Statement › RPT Parameter

RPT Parameter

The RPT parameter is optional. It is used to request a report that contains Restart Information Messages. These messages contain the information necessary to restart CA IDMS/DB Reorg at a given step. RPT instructs CA IDMS/DB Reorg to produce only restart information without executing any reorganization steps.

When to request restart information--Restart messages are needed if you have experienced a system failure or the operator has canceled CA IDMS/DB Reorg mid-run without using the CA IDMS/DB Reorg CANCEL command from the console. You may also want to request restart messages to help you reexecute a step if intermediate work files were accidentally damaged or scratched in a previous run. The information from these messages helps you restart CA IDMS/DB Reorg correctly.

RPT Syntax and Options

[,RPT= {NEXT
        OPTALLOC
        PRIALLOC

        UPDLINK
        STORE}]

[,RPT= {step-name}]

This option indicates that a restart report option follows.The step name you enter after RPT= indicates that you want Restart Information Messages containing information necessary to restart the utility at that step. Restart messages for a particular step can only be produced if CA IDMS/DB Reorg has completed processing all steps which precede the step requested (the steps are covered in Concepts).

Default: None. If you enter the RPT parameter you must choose one of the options.

Note: When a PROCESS statement contains the RPT parameter all otherparameters are ignored. To resume processing you must initiate another run of CA IDMS/DB Reorg without the RPT parameter.

NEXT

OPTALLOC

Requests messages about restarting at the Optimum Allocation Pointer Extract (OPTALLOC) Step.

PRIALLOC
