nt Folders
Checkpoint fold
ers contain information related to persistence data, which
the server servi
ces use to create continuity from one instance of a session to
another. For ex
ample, if you stop and restart a job manager, the new session
continues the o
ld session, using all the same data.
A primary feat
ure offered by the checkpoint folders is in crash recovery. This
allows server
services to automatically resume their se ssions after a system
goes down and
comes back up, minimizing the loss of data. However, if a
MATLAB worke
r goe s down during the evaluation of a task, that task is
neither reev
aluated nor reassigned to another worker. In this case, a finished
job may not h
ave a complete set of output data, because data from any
unfin ished
tasks might be missing.
Note If a jo
b manager crashes and restarts, its workers can take up to 2
minutes to
reregister with it.
Platform File Location
Windows
The default location of the checkpoint folders is
<TEMP>\MDCE\Checkpoint,where<TEMP> is the
value of the system
TEMP variable. For example,
if
TEMP is set to C:\TEMP, the checkpoint folders
are placed in
C:\TEMP\MDCE\Checkpoint.
You can set alternative locations for
the checkpoint folders by modifying the
CHECKPOINTBASE setting in the mdce_def.b at
file before starting the mdce service.
UNIX and M acintosh
The checkpoint folders are placed by default in
/var/lib/mdce/.
You can set alternative locations for
the checkpo int folder by modifying the
CHECKPOINTBASE setting in the mdce_def .sh
file before starting the mdce service.
