Command CHECK

Use this command to check the integrity of data on the Coordinator FDIC in the following situation:

  • an import/load function has been interrupted due to conflicts in the Coordinator Check Cycle, and

  • the conflict has been resolved on the Main or Coordinator FDIC.

This command rechecks all objects to be transferred against the phases of the Coordinator Check Cycle. It does not transfer data to the Main FDIC. If you wish to restart an import/load function and transfer data to the Main FDIC if no errors occur, use the Command CONTINUE.

Specify the Coordinator FDIC containing the data to be checked with Command SET.

With command CHECK, no parameters can be specified.

Command CLEAR

This command deletes the contents of the Coordinator FDIC belonging to the Main FDIC specified. Use this command to free the Coordinator FDIC for another import/load operation.

You can only clear a Coordinator FDIC created during an import/load operation you initiated yourself. To clear a Coordinator FDIC of another user, use the Special Function Refresh Coordinator FDIC. See the section Special Functions in the Predict Administration documentation.

Note:
If you set parameter Defaults > Coordinator Defaults > Coordinator FDIC, Clear with system utility to Y, System utilities (for example AOS in a mainframe environment) are used to delete the contents of the Coordinator FDIC after a CLEAR command, a successful import operation or after Special Function Refresh Coordinator FDIC. This improves performance if your Coordinator FDIC contains large amounts of data.

Keyword Position Remarks
FDIC-DBNR 1 These parameters are obligatory. They specify the Main FDIC. The Coordinator FDIC of this Main FDIC will be cleared.
FDIC-FNR 2
FDIC-PASSWORD 3 These parameters are only required if the Coordinator FDIC is protected by password and cipher.
FDIC-CIPHER 4

Command CONTINUE

This command has two uses:

  • to restart a load/import operation that was interrupted for any reason during the Check Cycle, or

  • to start a load/import operation after execution of function Test.

The command CONTINUE starts at the Coordinator Check Cycle. This means that no additional syntax check is performed on the data in the Migrate file, and no check is performed against selection criteria.

If the data on the Coordinator FDIC passes the Coordinator Check Cycle successfully, it will be transferred to the Main FDIC. If you only wish to test the integrity of data on the Coordinator FDIC without transferring it to the target environment, use the Command CHECK.

With command CONTINUE, no additional parameters can be specified.

Command SET

Use this command to set the parameters listed in the table below. The values remain valid for the duration of the current session or until an new SET command is issued.
