Restarting a failed import

An error message is issued if an import task fails. If the import already started, the RDU issues a message and records the failure in the log file. To restart a failed import, fix the error and reissue the dnprdu command.

When you import data from a package, it can happen that the import fails for one or more of the types of data. To resolve the problem, fix the problem and either:
  • Reissue the dnprdu command for the package, for example:
    dnprdu -file BICDIR_BICDB_FULL_20100804_TXT.zip -future
  • Extract the data files from the package and issue the dnprdu command for each of the data files for which the attempted import failed. For example, if only the CU import failed, enter the following command on a single line:
    dnprdu -file CU_20100904.txt 
           -dir /u/download/SWIFT/BICPLUSIBAN_CORE_FULL_20100904_TXT
           -future
Note: RDU refuses to start if it assumes that the previous failed RDU process is still running. If this happens, issue the dnprdu command with the -force parameter. Only use this parameter if you are sure that no other process of RDU is running. For example, issue the following command on a single line:
dnprdu -file FI_20100904.txt 
        -dir /u/download/SWIFT/input
        -future -force
