Definition

In data transfer, a distinction is made between initial transfers and restarts.
In initial transfer, input is made by reading the sequential file generated in the legacy system.

The following three situations are distinguished in the program for a restart:

  1. Restart (when program terminates with an error while the input file is being read)
    The program reads the records in the input file that have not yet been processed.
  2. Restart (when program terminates with an error before error processing has been completed)
    The program generates the remaining BDC sessions for records containing errors.
  3. Postprocessing
    The program reads a file as input (containing input records with errors).

The program itself determines which of these restart situations applies (for information, see table TJY09).
