The Actian X checkpoint template file, cktmpl.def, may change from release to release. If you have customized your checkpoint template file, you must review and verify your changes with the new Actian X version.

Tip: If your checkpoint template was customized to do multiple location checkpoints in parallel, you may be able to remove this customization entirely. Actian X supports parallel checkpoint and rollforwarddb processing directly.

Compare the revised checkpoint template against the one installed with the new Actian X version. The template customizations may no longer be necessary due to new features in checkpoint and rollforward. For example: newer versions of Actian X support parallel checkpoint and rollforwarddb processing, so a checkpoint template customized to do multiple location checkpoints in parallel need not be done.

For more information on the format of the checkpoint template files, see the Database Administrator Guide.
