    There are two types of checkpoints in IMS: basic checkpoints, which only store an ID, and symbolic checkpoints, which can store up to seven pairs of data areas and support extended restart calls. Checkpoints are an important feature that ensure data integrity by allowing recovery to the point of the last checkpoint if an abnormal termination occurs.

    IMS Checkpoints

    There are two types of checkpoint. They are:-

    1. Basic checkpoint
    2. Symbolic checkpoint

    Basic checkpoint
    It Stores only the checkpoint ID

    Checkpoint and Restart facilities are some of the most important features supported by IMS. This
    method is used in the IMS programming environment to ensure data integrity. When we issue a
    checkpoint, it signals the IMS Control environment that the application program wants to
    commit all changes made to the database. Once an IMS checkpoint is successfully taken, IMS,
    the application program, the programmer who supports the application, and the end users now
    have a reference point that assures that in case of a hardware/software abend we can recover the
    data back to the point where the checkpoint was taken.

    Symbolic checkpoint

     It is issued by BMP and batch programs


     It supports GSAM files
     The program can save as many as seven pairs of data area along with the checkpoint
    record.   
     It supports the Extended Restart call (XRST).
     It is issued using the following call statement
