It is good practice to ensure that errors are resolved before requesting a controlled end of a data group.
Do the following:
From the Work with Data Groups display, type an
8(Display status) next to the data group you want to end and press Enter.The Data Group Status display appears. In the upper right of the display, you should see either one or both of the following fields. A non-zero value in these fields will not prevent the end request from completing.
Database errors identifies the number of items replicated through the user (database) journal that have a status of *HLDERR. This number should be 0 before you end the data group.
Object in error/active identifies two key statistics associated with objects replicated through the system journal. The first number identifies the number of objects that have a status of *FAILED and the second number identifies the number of objects with active (pending) activity entries. Both numbers should be 0 before you end the data group.
Note: Only information for the type of information replicated by the data group appears on the status displays. For example, if the data group does not contain database files, you will only see fields for object information.For data groups which replicate from the user journal, you also need to check for any files that are held for other reasons. Press F8 (Database). The Held for other reasons field In the upper right of the Data Group Database Status display should also be 0 before you end the data group.
A non-zero value may or may not prevent the end request from completing. For more information, see topics Working with files needing attention.
