Workspace Sterling Connect:Direct for Z/OS

Dynamic removal of redundant checkpoint entries

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Can the logic behind CKPT.DAYS be extended so that this function in invoked on a regular basis (e.g. daily) instead of only when z/OS Connect:Direct is started?


When the checkpoint dataset becomes full, the only way to defragment it or clear out redundant checkpoint records is to bring the z/OS Connect:Direct node down resulting in an outage.


Some large organisations require their production z/OS Connect:Direct nodes to run 24x7x365 and any outage has a big impact.

How will this idea be used?

Issues like the one we experienced in January can be avoided if redundant checkpoint records are deleted on a regular basis
