The relevant number of the current installation step is stored in the restart file during the installation procedure. This means that if the procedure is aborted, the restart file contains the number of the installation step that was not fully executed. When the aborted procedure is restarted, the procedure run starts with the last installation step that was not concluded.
An installation that was not concluded correctly can be repeated in the following two cases:
If the installation was aborted with the response <tsn>.1 when an error occurred.
If the installation procedure was not checked before it was terminated (e.g. using CANCEL-JOB or SHUTDOWN).
The restart is activated by restarting the installation procedure with ENTER-PROCEDURE.
The message SOL0012 EXECUTE RESTART FUNCTION ? is output on the console.
This message must be answered with <tsn>.1 or <tsn>.2.
Answer <tsn>.1
The installation starts at the interrupted installation step.
Answer <tsn>.2
The entire installation is repeated.
Notes
You must ensure that the logging files (IL, IR, and IC suffix) are closed before the installation is restarted.
The installation can, in principle, be restarted at any installation step if the installation step number is entered in the restart file (RS suffix).
Changes to the installation procedure only become active if the changes were made to the file under the original name.
