You can checkpoint a batch job manually by using the bchkpnt command. Note that you can set up automatic
checkpointing using Fluent Launcher as described previously. The syntax
for the bchkpnt command is
bchkpnt [<bchkpnt_options>]
[-k]
<job_ID>
where
<bchkpnt_options> are options for the job checkpointing. See the Platform LSF Reference guide for a complete list with descriptions.
-kis the regular option to thebchkpntcommand, and specifies checkpoint and exit. The job will be killed immediately after being checkpointed. When the job is restarted, it does not have to repeat any operations.<job_ID> is the job ID of the Fluent job, which is used to specify which job to checkpoint.
