[Condor-users] Condor on Windows - failover and checkpointing

["Shaun J. O'Callaghan" <Shaun.OCallaghan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

 

When implementing a Condor based system on a Windows network, as checkpointing functionality is missing, does this simply mean when a job is interrupted it is either suspended or terminated altogether?

 

Also, does this mean that there’s no transaction-style failover in the event of a job failure?

 

Any light that could be shed on these two issues would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind Regards,
