Restarting an Archive Operation - TARA/ABU

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.

If the AMP configuration changed (AMPs are online before the failure but offline afterward), restart begins with the last table being archived before the failure.

If the Teradata Database fails during an archive of database DBC, Teradata ARC’s default action is to wait for the Teradata Database to come back online and then try the archive operation again. Some options (for example, ABORT, HALT, and PAUSE) can affect whether Teradata ARC stops, but the default is to try again after the system recovers.
