PAUSE
Purpose
The PAUSE parameter saves the current state into the restart log and pauses execution 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 for non-fallback tables only.
PAUSE causes Teradata ARC to wait for five minutes, then checks the current configuration to see if it has returned to its previous state. PAUSE remains in its delay loop until the Teradata Database either returns to its previous state or a time limit is exceeded:
Teradata ARC repeats the five minute pause and check process 48 times (about four hours). If after 48 times the configuration is still different, Teradata ARC saves the current state into the restart log and terminates the current task.
Note: If the PAUSE option is specified and a disk is replaced after an archive or recovery operation is started, the operation cannot be restarted from where it left off. Restart the operation from the beginning.
Specify NOPAUSE to disable the PAUSE parameter.
