Missing transfer packages

When receiving transfer packages, DCM checks for missing packages. If a missing package is reported, follow these steps.
  1. Determine the date and time of the missing package as reported in the error message by DCM.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
