Restarting the Utility

If a previous run of utility CTOFANCI ended early (due to errors or because a specified maximum number of input members were processed), you can avoid unnecessary repetition of processing already performed by indicating that the utility begin processing with a specific dataset or member. For example, you can indicate that processing continue with the last dataset processed by the utility, or with the dataset or member that should have been processed next. For more information, see Execution and Restart Parameters.

Note: For performance reasons, utility CTOFANCI often accumulates several rules–which are destined for the same Rule table–in memory before writing them to disk. If utility CTOFANCI ends due to an error, rules still in memory may appear in the utility’s reports, but may not have been completely processed. If CTOFANCI ends abnormally, it is recommended that you check the last rules processed by the utility to determine if incompletely processed rules listed in the utility reports are missing from the Rule tables. Ensure that the restart of the utility reprocesses any rules that were not completely processed in the previous run of the utility.
