When receiving transfer packages, DCM checks for missing
packages. If a missing package is reported, follow these steps.
- Determine the date and time of the missing package as reported
in the error message by DCM.
- Contact the DCM administrator for the generating database and
determine whether that package is in the generate directory of the
sending database. If so, the DCM administrator can transfer the missing
package, and try the receive step again.
- If the missing package is not found in the generate directory
of the sending database, remove the pending transfer packages from
the receive directory of your database.
- Ask the DCM administrator to regenerate and transfer the package
using the required transfer set, specifying an -lg option
index that corresponds to the date and time of the missing package
or earlier.
- Receive that package specifying the -im option
to ignore the missing package warning. Subsequent receives do not
require this option.
Note: Specifying that DCM ignore missing transfer
packages can result in:
- Missing objects
- Objects not being updated with the latest data
- Empty directory entries
- Missing relationships
