Resubmitting Cross Loader Jobs

This topic describes how to resubmit Cross Loader jobs that fail during the Unicode migration process.

Each Cross Loader job consists of two steps: a main step, and a verification step.

The start of the main step, which executes the Cross Loader job, is indicated as follows:

//XLD000 

where 000 is the step number.

The main step is followed by the verification step, which has the following format:

//XLD00000    INCLUDE MEMBER=. 

where //XLD00000 is the XLOADER card member number.

If one of the Cross Loader data migration jobs ends abnormally, correct the problem that caused the job to fail and then resubmit the job. Do not, however, rerun steps in the job that have already executed successfully; doing so causes the job to fail again, creates duplicate data in the affected table, and causes the index rebuild jobs to fail.

To restart a Cross Loader job

1. Using IBM’s SDSF or another job output facility, type SJ next to the failed job.

2. Delete the Cross Loader job steps that ran successfully.

3. Submit the job again.
