NAME

tkadmin force checkpoint - causes the server to checkpoint

SYNOPSIS

tkadmin force checkpoint -server servername [-waitforcompletion]

ARGUMENTS

-server servername Specifies the server affected by the command. The server name is the name that is registered with the DCE Directory Service. If the server name is not specified in the command line, it is retrieved from an environment variable, ENCINA_TK_SERVER. 

[-waitforcompletion]
Causes the command to return only after the server has completed the checkpoint. Without this option, the command returns immediately.

DESCRIPTION

The tkadmin force checkpoint command forces the specified server to perform a nearly immediate checkpoint. Forcing a checkpoint can reduce restart time and can indirectly cause log file resources to be released. This command should only be used after the complete initialization of the server’s Recovery Service. 

EXAMPLES

The following command forces the /.:/branch1/server/rqs1 RQS server to perform a checkpoint. The command does not return until the server has completed the checkpoint. 

% tkadmin force checkpoint -server /.:/branch1/server/rqs1 -waitforcompletion

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

Encina Monitor administer (a) permission to the node manager

Encina RQS administer (a) permission to the RQS server

Encina SFS administer (A) permission to the SFS server
