Description

This parameter links the current run with previous runs, so that data continuity is maintained between source and target tables. Unless stopped by a user, Extract runs continuously and maintains checkpoints in the data source and trail to ensure data integrity and fault tolerance throughout planned or unplanned process termination, system outages, or network failure. EXTRACT must be the first entry in the parameter file.
