Reports are restarted by LSS when the SYSTEM/DMRECOVERY completes on the secondary application.

In the following two cases, the Reports were all restarted with Critical Points. If any Reports that do not contain Critical Points are restarted, then those Reports are run from the beginning. Consequently, all Report output is started from the beginning.

Reports Creating Extract Files

The Report restarts from the last Critical Point, and if the Extract pack is mirrored, the Extract file continues writing records from the last record written at the Critical Point.

Reports Using ROC Flat Files

The Report restarts from the last Critical Point, and if the ROC data pack is mirrored, the Report continues writing records from the last record written at the Critical Point.

You should take care when the Report completes, or the Report is released for printing, because the ROC sleeping Report attempts to route the Report back to the source host for printing. At this stage, the source host might not be available.

It might be necessary to set ROC to 0, and when the Report completes, send it to a new destination using the ROC Inquiry screens. This only applies to restarted Reports.

Reports Writing Directly to a Printer Backup

The Report restarts from the last Critical Point. It is unlikely that the backup family is mirrored, in which case the Report output completed at the last Critical Point is on the backup family of the primary host, which might not now be available. All new output from this restarted Report is written to the backup family on the secondary host.
