specified restarts from the beginning of the RELOAD phase.

Notes from Alok :-

If it’s LOAD REPLACE:

Table size is small: Terminate the utility; fix the issue; ;rerun the job

Table size is big: means billion of records

Terminate the utility; fix the issue;

If abended in reload phase run job from abended step.

If abended in rebuild phase; repair tablespace recovery pending; run the rebuild index

If LOAD RESUME Yes:

Do not terminate utility

Fix the issue

If its reload phase then run the job from abended step

If its rebuild phase then terminate utility; repair tablespace recovery pending; run the rebuild index

If it’s any other phase then you might have to recover table space; rebuild index and fix the issue and then rerun the job.

If it’s LOAD RESUME NO: then be careful as sometime LOAD resume NO will be ignored and DB2 will treat it as LOAD
RESUME YES
