Used to specify the base name of the checkpoint file.
The syntax is:
ckpt_file = filename
The checkpoint file is created by the AIX checkpoint functions and is derived from the filename specified in the ckpt_file keyword in the job command file or the default file name.
For example, if you are storing checkpoint files in a file with the base name "myckptfiles" which is placed in the directory named by the ckpt_dir keyword, the job command file would contain:
ckpt_file = myckptfiles
Alternatively, if you are naming the checkpoint files "myckptfiles" and storing them in the directory /tmp, the keyword in the job command file can contain:
ckpt_file = /tmp/myckptfiles
or the combination of ckpt_dir and ckpt_file keywords can be used, producing the same result.
ckpt_dir = /tmp ckpt_file = myckptfiles
