Restarting the Specification Merge

If you are running the software update in unattended mode, this process is run automatically.

If the Specification Merge stops before it completes successfully because the merge of an object fails, you can restart it from the point where it stopped. If all merges complete successfully, you can skip this task.

To restart the Specification Merge:

This table lists the requirements for restarting the specification merge.

Task	Details
Personnel	Installer
Logon status	On the deployment server, logged on as user JDE with the database password for user JDE, in the JDEPLAN environment.
Prerequisites	Specification merge must be stopped.
Concurrent Tasks	None

Before you restart the Specification Merge you must set the status of the failed merge back to Not Processed (zero). The restarted Specification Merge will skip completed merges and process the failed merge and all subsequent merges.

Use this procedure to set the status of the failed merge back to Not Processed (zero):

From Advanced Operations menu (GH9611) select Specification Merge Status (P98700).

1. On the SpecMerge Status panel, complete these fields:

   • Package Name

     Enter the name of the software update.

   • Source Environment

     Enter JDEPLAN (the Planner environment).

   • Target Environment

     Enter the name of the environment you are updating.

2. Click Find. All objects that are part of the specification merge are displayed.

3. Select the object for which the specification merge failed. The object will have a status of 4 (Error) in the Merge Status column.

4. On the Row Exit menu, click Reset Merge Status. The Reset Merge Status panel appears.

5. In the New Merge Status field, specify 0 (zero, or Not Processed).

6. Click OK.

   The object's merge status is changed.

7. Click Close.

You can now restart the specification merge.
