How to suppress import when the table-based import method is used for import processing at the target system

If the target system employs the table-based import method, you can recover data linkage by using import suppression to skip errors.

You can use import suppress to skip errors in the following cases:

No transaction-based or table-based import event is used during recovery.
The extraction definition has not been changed (including re-execution of the hdeprep command).

For the import-suppress control code for data linkage recovery, use SKIP_TYPE_UNTIL. For details about using import suppression to skip errors, see 3.3.10 (1) Using import suppression to skip errors.

(1) How to create an import suppression list file

This subsection describes how to create an import suppression list file.

Make sure that all update information stored in the import information queue files has been imported.

Terminate the source Datareplicator.
Execute the hdsrefinfm command and obtain the extraction transaction information from the execution results for each group.
Execute the hdsrefinfm command as follows without specifying an import group name:
hdsrefinfm -f import-status-file-name -l 9 -p analysis-results-output-file-name
Create an import suppression list file under $HDSPATH on the basis of the extraction transaction information.
The following example shows the correspondence between the output of the hdsrefinfm command and the import-suppress control list file, where the import mode is trn:

When you create an import suppression list file, do not include in it a group that has the extraction transaction information specified in the RCVR_START parameter.
Start the target Datareplicator.

(2) Notes

If you terminate an import process after using SKIP_TYPE_UNTIL to suppress import, make sure that this specification is deleted. If the import process is restarted without deleting this specification, import of all detected update information will be suppressed.
When you specify SKIP_TYPE_UNTIL, do not switch the import mode or change the source Datareplicator's definitions. Because the import process terminates and starts automatically, the processed SKIP_TYPE_UNTIL takes effect again and import suppress might be executed illegally.
Update information suppressed by SKIP_TYPE_UNTIL cannot be recovered with the error recovery facility. You must use HiRDB Dataextractor and XDM/XT to recover the information.
