CHECKPOINT_COUNT

Defines how often (based on record count) the sending system requests a checkpoint to be taken. The value 0 indicates no checkpointing.

Note: Setting CHECKPOINT_COUNT affects performance. Each time a checkpoint is taken, the output buffers on the receiving system are written to the disk. On Token Ring, Ethernet, and other high-speed networks, CHECKPOINT_COUNT should be set to 0 or to the highest allowable value. CHECKPOINT_COUNT should not be set for small files.

Range: 0 to 9999

Default: 1000

Note: Version 2 parameter.
