HALT

Purpose  

The HALT parameter saves the current state into the restart log and terminates the current task if, during archive or recovery, the Teradata Database fails or restarts, and the new configuration differs from the configuration that preceded the failure.

Syntax  

Usage Notes  

Use this parameter only when online configuration changes and non-fallback tables are involved. Processing is aborted when any table is non-fallback. If all tables are fallback, HALT is ignored. HALT affects the database as follows:

  • If HALT is not specified, Teradata ARC displays a message and skips to the next table.
  • If HALT and PAUSE are both specified, Teradata ARC displays an error message. Specify HALT or PAUSE, but not both.
  • Note: If the HALT option is specified and a disk is replaced after an archive or recovery operation has been started, the operation cannot be restarted from where it left off. Restart the operation from the beginning.

    Specify NOHALT to disable the HALT parameter.
