With the PROCESS statement, you can start ARCHIVE processes defined with NOW=NO
or continue ARCHIVE processes already started and then interrupted (e.g. due to a system crash).

archive-seqno
15-digit ARCHIVE sequence number in the form L.yymmdd.hhmmss
for processes which are waiting or A.yymmdd.hhmmss
for interrupted ARCHIVE processes.
The system support may omit this operand. In this case, all ARCHIVE processes defined with NOW=NO
, which are thus in the queue file ARCHIVE.LATER
, are started.
PROCESS notes
Only EXPORT, IMPORT, RESTORE and SAVE runs can be continued by means of the PROCESS statement.
If, for example, a number of VSNs are removed from the directory file by means of a POOL statement and execution then aborted, you cannot continue this statement; the entire POOL statement must be repeated. This causes a warning message to be issued, as some of the VSNs are now missing from the directory file.Restrictions affecting RESTART without a directory file are described in the section "Restarting ARCHIVE processes".
If alias names are specified in commands, the file names are taken from the alias catalog which is active when the batch job is executed.
