Could anybody give a clear idea on checkpoint restart (both Basic and Symbolic chekpoint). I am aware of the theoritical part of it.
If i am able to get practical examples on how to restart a program using checkpoint and so, it will be helpful for me. |

Hello,
Checkpoint/restart is not a decision for one program - it is implemented over a much larger sphere of influence. It is also not (typically) implemented by only one person.
Suggest you speak with the database and system support people to learn if/how checkpoint/restart is implemented on your system.
Due to the exponentially faster cpu's and dasd, many places no longer implement new checkpoint/restart capabilities. It is often faster/cleaner to let the job back completely out, fix the problem, and rerun from the beginning. |

Thanks for your reply. But can I know how it is linked within a program.
Any links or manuals which clearly explains on how to set a checkpoint in a program and when abends how to proceed on and so.

It is not "linked" in a program. It is a philosophy covering an environment not just some program.
As Sandy mentoined, there are some other topics in the forum. These may have information you find useful, but i do not recall one that will give what i believe you are asking for. As i mentoned, this is not the sort of thing that is done for "a program".
I know of no "manual" as almost everywhere that does checkpoint/restart has a very site-specific implementation using the tools that are part of their environment (i.e. db2 checkpoint/restart is not the same as vsam c/r which is not the same as others. . .). |
