Checkpoint Types

A manual checkpoint is created manually by using the tibdg administrative tool and a periodic checkpoint is created automatically by configuring the data grid to create periodic checkpoints.

Manual Checkpoints
  • Initiated by using the tibdg administrative tool.
  • Are given a unique name to help with checkpoint identification
Periodic Checkpoints
  • Configured at the data grid level.
  • Taken at a fixed interval while the data grid is running.
  • Cannot be given a name.
Both manual and periodic checkpoints can be manually removed, and are subject to removal based on the retention setting.
