Terminating Cloning

If you need to stop the cloning process before it is finished, you can use the QUIT NOW console command to terminate the DATABridge Client program during the data extraction phase. The following occurs when you terminate dbutility:

• When you terminate dbutility during the fixup phase or during updates, the dbutility process command restarts from the last commit point.
• When you terminate dbutility during the data extraction phase, only the data sets that have successfully completed the data extraction phase (ds_mode=1) are recoverable. You can resume the process by running another process command.

The QUIT NOW console command does not always stop the client as it only closes the TCP/IP connection to the server.

If the program has entered the fixup phase, it is recommended that you use the QUIT command (Windows) or the SIGTERM (15) signal (UNIX) to terminate the DATABridge Client at the next quiet point. If you issue a QUIT command (Windows) or send a SIGTERM signal to the program during the data extraction phase, the DATABridge Client stops only when the fixup phase begins.

Note: If all else fails to terminate the client, press Ctrl+C.
