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:
- If the AMPs are in the original configuration, Teradata ARC continues processing the archive or restore operation from where it left off.
- If the configuration still differs, Teradata ARC pauses for another five minutes and repeats the process described above.
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.
If PAUSE is not specified with non-fallback tables, the archive is aborted and Teradata ARC skips to the next table.
If HALT and PAUSE are both specified, Teradata ARC displays an error message. Either HALT or PAUSE may be specified, but not both.
Specify NOPAUSE to disable the PAUSE parameter.
