Restarting an archive operation causes Teradata ARC to:
- Reposition the output archive file at the data block indicated in the last restart point recorded in the restart log before the failure occurred.
- Restart the operation at the beginning of the last table or secondary index subtable that was being archived before the failure. Teradata ARC performs this step only if the AMP configuration has changed, that is, if any of the AMPs were online before the failure but are now offline after the failure.
In the case of an interrupted archive of database DBC, resubmit the ARCHIVE statement without specifying the RESTART parameter.
