# Resuming the data transfer

If a step in the data transfer is interrupted, you can resume the process. Resuming continues the ETL process after the last successfully completed step.

When you resume, the results are saved to a different log file, resume_etl.log, in the current directory. The resume_etl.log file is overwritten each time you resume.

1. In a command shell, set your current directory to the location where you unpacked the installation ZIP file, Healthcare-CDM4_ETL_xxx.zip, where xxx refers to the build number.

   For example:

   $ cd /u01/stage/cdm4etl

2. In the command shell, log in to the Empirica Healthcare Analysis database using the destination account, which was created during installation of the ETL utility. You provided the name of the account in the etl.properties file and supplied the password during installation.

   For example:

   $ sqlplus <account_name>@<connect_string>

   You are prompted to type a password for the destination account.

3. Type a password, and press Enter.
4. Run the resume ETL script:

   SQL>@resume_etl
