The checkpoint notification (SAVACTMSGQ) parameter

You can specify the checkpoint notification on the SAVACTMSGQ parameter. The specified message queue receives a message after checkpoint processing is complete. An operator or a job can monitor this message queue and restart applications when checkpoint processing is complete.

The following table shows the messages that are sent for each command when checkpoint processing is complete.

Note: 1 Prior to the CPI3712 checkpoint completion message, messages CPI3724 and CPI3725 are sent to the message queue and to the workstation to indicate the progress of the checkpoint processing. CPI3724 is sent for each library as the operation begins to allocate the objects in that library. CPI3725 is sent when all objects have been allocated as the operation begins to obtain the checkpoint images of the objects.
