Recovery Management

Recovery mode processing will be applied to post runs within the IA module.  The purpose of the recovery mode is to ensure data integrity while also allowing quick recovery instead of having to roll back all file updates and then running IA period end processing from the beginning.  Recovery processing enables post runs to begin from the program where the abort occurred rather than from the beginning.

The system will capture the name of the program running when IA period processing ends abnormally.  It will also capture the manufacturing order number that was being processed if the program that aborted is the Manufacturing Order Journal Creation program, IA130E.  The program number that aborted will be stored on Reference File category 460.   If the program name on this category is filled in, this indicates that the IA period end needs to be run in recovery.  The manufacturing order and plant being processed will be stored on Reference File category N26.

To ensure data integrity, all file updates made by the program that aborted must be rolled back before running IA period end in recovery.  If the program that aborted is IA130E, only file updates made for the manufacturing order being processed needs to be rolled back.

Recovery of IA period end must be requested.  A new post cannot be requested until recovery mode is run.  The request is run through the IA Period End Process Request screen.  If a manufacturing order number was saved on the category, this manufacturing order will be displayed in the Last MO Processed field during the recovery request on this screen.  All fields on the request screen will be display only.  A message will also appear on the request screen indicating that the IA period end processing is in recovery mode, and that the Enter key should be pressed to request recovery.  When IA period end runs in recovery, the job will start with the program whose name is on the category.  If that program is IA130E, the first manufacturing order processed will be that stored on Reference File category N26.

To view complete information, you will have to look at a combination of reports from the original and recovery runs.  For example, if IA130E aborted, manufacturing orders already processed will not be on the IA130 report from the recovery run, but will be on the report from the original invoice.
