Cross-Platform Checkpoint-Restart API
Using the published API of the mainframe checkpoint/restart tool, I implemented a version in C with an emphasis on portability to different platforms. The software was beta-tested by a company who was porting a COBOL application which used the mainframe tool, and expected the new portable version to be a complete clone. Many undocumented and imprecise aspects of the mainframe implementation were brought to light and introduced for compatibility into the portable version. At one time or another, this code has been ported to Windows, OS/2, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, and Linux; has worked with both DB2 and Oracle databases; and has worked with many third-generation languages such as C and MicroFocus COBOL. Over the years, this code base has undergone much change and improvement, including the addition of the online monitor, an XML-based configuration file, and support for 64-bit computers.
