Introduction 1 1.1 Overview The Checkpoint Service provides a facility for processes to record checkpoint data incrementally, which can be used to protect an application against failures. When recovering from fail-over or switch-over situations, or restart situations, the checkpoint data can be retrieved, and execution can be resumed from the state recorded before the failure. Checkpoints are cluster-wide entities that are designated by unique names. A copy of the data stored in a checkp

Introduction Models and Concepts 1.2 Models and Concepts The Checkpoint service comprises three distributed subparts that maintain the cluster-wide checkpoint database.

Checkpoint Agent Introduction choose the CPND that oversees the active replica of a particular checkpoint via the invocation of the saCkptActiveReplicaSet() API. In all other cases, the CPD will designate the CPND that oversees the active replica. The CPND that oversees the active replica of a particular checkpoint will control all the operations on that checkpoint and it is not constrained to be present on the same node where the application resides. The CPND that manages the active rep

API Description 2 2.1 Service Extensions The current release of NCS Checkpoint Service provides one API and a callback function in addition to the APIs defined in the SAF-AIS Checkpoint Service document SAF-AIS-CKPT- B.01.01. These APIs are defined as 'stand-alone' APIs so that other SAF-defined APIs are not disturbed, and compliance to SAF is not compromised. These extensions are defined to provide the hot-standby support to the Checkpoint Service user applications. 2.1.1 ncsCkptRegisterC

Implementation Notes API Description If a callback of this form has been registered with the Checkpoint service via ncsCkptRegisterCkptArrivalCallback(), then it will be invoked whenever new or updated checkpoint replica data arrives for the checkpoint identified by checkpointHandle. The checkpoint writer is never called back. Also, applications that have not opened the checkpoint with the SA_CKPT_CHECKPOINT_READ flag are not called back. This callback is invoked in the context of a thre

API Description Time-out Arguments for Checkpoint Service APIs Creating extra replicas on the system manager node for non-collated checkpoints is an overhead. The advantage of a non-collocated checkpoint is that replica will be created in two places, no matter from how many nodes it is opened. 2.2.2 Time-out Arguments for Checkpoint Service APIs For all synchronous API calls, the application will provide the “timeout” argument. The application will consider invocation of the particular API
