Issue/Introduction

On occasion, an UNLOAD operation might end with errors and/or warnings, but the job does complete.

In such cases, can the RELOAD be completed successfully?

Environment

Release : 19.0

Component : CA IDMS/DB

Resolution

No.

Warnings or errors in an UNLOAD is an indication that the database is corrupt.

If the RELOAD is completed, the database will still be corrupt and it could be worse than the original corruption.

The source database corruption should be fixed first before re-running the UNLOAD and RELOAD.

The recommendation  is to start with an IDMSDBAN of the database.
