BMC AMI Application Restart Control 4.x: Fundamentals Concepts for Smart/RESTART API Bridge (WBT)

BMC AMI Application Restart Control (AR/CTL) enables to resume failed or interrupted batch applications from the most recent checkpoint rather than from the beginning of the job. It helps implement checkpoint/restart functionality with no changes to application code or jobs. AR/CTL helps determine the best balance between performance, restart time, and checkpoint overhead by controlling the checkpoint frequency outside the application.

The AR/CTL-Smart/RESTART API Bridge is used to transparently run the Smart/RESTART application programs in an AR/CTL environment. It works as a migration utility.

This course introduces the fundamentals of AR/CTL-Smart/RESTART API Bridge and its key benefits. This course also covers components of the bridge, keywords supported, and processing of RAINPUT file.
