can any 1 tell me what are check points? can any one explain me with the example program?whether check points are same as restart?

Hello,

Checkpoints are usually used to signify the successful completion of a logical unit of work (LUW).

A restart typically begins after the last successful checkpoint.

I know of no generic checkpoint/restart modules - the whole area of backup, recovery, checkpoint, restart, etc is usually implemented across an environment, not just one program.
