Application checkpoints indicate the completion of a unit of work. When a BMP issues a checkpoint, participating systems commit changes to the records that the BMP has updated. Committing the changes releases the locks on the updated records, making those records available for use by other programs. Tuning the frequency of checkpoints helps to ensure optimum data availability, application performance, and resource usage.
