Arguments

<dir>

The directory to store checkpoints. The default value is /tmp

Use this option to specify a directory to store checkpoints. By default, /tmp is used. The directory <dir> should be writable, otherwise an error will be raised during process launch, and the application will abort with an error message.

-ckpoint-tmp-prefix <dir>

Arguments

<dir>

The directory to store temporary checkpoints. The default value is /tmp

Use this option to indicate the directory to store temporary checkpoints. Checkpoints are migrated from -ckpoint-tmp-prefix to the directory specified in -ckpoint-prefix. The directory <dir> should be writable; otherwise the application will abort during startup with an error message. Temporary storage is not used if the option is not set.

-ckpoint-logfile <file>

Use this option for monitoring checkpoint activity. The trace is dumped into <file>. You should be able to write in <file>; otherwise the application will abort during startup with an error message. This is an optional feature.
