Create a Database Checkpoint Manually
You can manually create a database checkpoint outside of the configured checkpoint interval. For example, create a checkpoint before restarting an engine to reduce the number of transaction log files that must be replayed to get the engine restored.
About this task
When you create a manual checkpoint, the next scheduled checkpoint starts at the next recurring checkpoint interval. That next interval starts when you run the manual checkpoint. For example, if the checkpoint interval is 60 minutes and a scheduled checkpoint started at 1:00, if you run create_checkpoint.py at 1:30, the next scheduled checkpoint begins at 2:30.
Procedure
Enter the following command to create a checkpoint:
kubectl exec -it engine_pod_name -n matrixx -- bash --login -c"create_checkpoint.py"
