Monitoring checkpoints

About this task

The purpose of a checkpoint is to periodically move the restart point forward in the logical log. If checkpoints did not exist and a failure occurred, the database server would be required to process all the transactions that were recorded in the logical log since the system restarted.

You can view checkpoints of the database in tabular format ( 4 hours old data is shown )

  1. Access the console.
  2. From the navigation menu, select Monitor > Checkpoints.
