file-namespecifies the name of the file to receive the compressed data.

Optional Parameters

The optional parameters, listed alphabetically, are as follows. Unless otherwise noted, the parameters apply to all remote node environments.

CKPTINV(n)

Number of bytes, from 1K to 2 gigabytes, to send or receive before taking a checkpoint. The format is nnnnnnn, nnnnnnK, or nnnnnnM, where K specifies thousands of bytes and M specifies millions of bytes. A value of 0 specifies no checkpoint restart Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS uses the value you specify, rounded up to the nearest record boundary, to determine when to take a checkpoint. If you specify a value between 1 and 1023, the value becomes 1024 or 1K.

The value specified here is later used as the checkpoint interval for subsequent transfers.
