Checkpoint Restart for DB2 select query.

Postby arpitpatel01 » Mon Aug 03, 2015 12:59 pm

Hi,
I have a cobol code which uses a DB2 SELECT query to unload all the data present in the DB2 table and then write it to a flat file.
My question is, if during the execution of this DB2 select query, if due to any reason(DB2 region down, etc.), job abends, then i need to restart the job
again and the execution should start from the last row fetched before abend.

Is this possible ? If Yes, then how?

(Note: SELECT query includes data to be fetched from 5 DB2 tables)

Kindly assist me on this.

... DB2 region down ...


if the DB2 production region is down, your organization has bigger issues than an interrupted select :mrgreen:
cheers

Have you searched for check-point restart in the forum or in the big wide world? It is mentioned often enough in the forum - check both the Languages section and the DB2 section.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
