adtChkpt Utility

The adtChkpt utility can be used to set or retrieve the checkpoint for an executing job. This utility is meant to be used when you have a batch file that executes several different processes and you want to let adTempus know where things stand in case the job needs to be restarted from this point later.

This program relies on information put in the environment by adTempus and therefore will only work within a batch file run by adTempus.

To set the checkpoint, use the syntax

adtchkpt /s "checkpoint name"

Where "checkpoint name" is whatever string you want to pass as the checkpoint.

See the Checkpoints topic for an example of how to use checkpoints in a batch file.
