- Archives suite or family nodes *IF* they have child nodes(otherwise does nothing).
- Saves the suite/family nodes to disk, and then removes the in memory child nodes from the definition.
- It improves time taken to checkpoint and reduces network bandwidth
- If the node is re-queued or begun, the child nodes are automatically restored
- The nodes are saved to ECF_HOME/<host>.<port>.ECF_NAME.check, where '/' has been replaced with ':' in ECF_NAME
- Care must be taken if you have trigger reference to the archived nodes
Autorestore can also be done automatically, but is is only applied when a node completes.
Use ecflow_client --archive to archive manually
