# Restarting an Interrupted Save Operation

This section describes how an ADASAV SAVE database or SAVE DELTA execution can be restarted after failure. The specific actions to be performed depend on the type of failure.

This document covers the following topics:

- User ABEND 34 or 35

- System ABEND or Other User ABEND

- Resetting the DSIM Data Set

## User ABEND 34 or 35

1. Determine and correct the cause of the error.

2. If the save operation was performed online, reset the DSIM data set (see below).

3. Resubmit the save job.

## System ABEND or Other User ABEND

If the ADASAV utility terminates abnormally with a system ABEND or a user ABEND other than 34 or 35:

For Offline Save Operation

## Resetting the DSIM Data Set

After an interrupted online save operation, the DSIM data set must be reset to prepare it for another save/copy/merge cycle.

This can be done using the ADAFRM function DSIMRESET FROMRABN=1,SIZE=1B. See DSIMRESET: Reset the DSIM Data Set .

Software AG recommends that you specify the DSIM data set for exclusive use by the ADAFRM utility to avoid accidentally destroying information in a DSIM data set currently in use by another utility. For the other utilities (ADASAV and ADARES), the DSIM data set must be specified for shared-update use.
