I have a job which is a long-running one. Processes millions
of records. Due to some run-time problem (not a problem due
to the job/data) the job abends.What needs to be done to
make the job complete successfully.
Answer Posted / lvrajesh
@Ram,
This is the answer I too gave in the interview.
But the questioner reiterated it's going to abend.
So now thinking on,I get the below:
Restart the job with input having records which are not
processed.By looking at output we can be sure of uptill what
record it was processed. So using DFSORT extract the records
from the last processed one and pass it as i/p and restart
the job from there.
Please let me know your view on this and other possible
answers.
