A checkpoint of a process is taken in order to provide a consistent state of the process in the event the process is to be restarted. When the process is restarted, the process is placed in the state it was in when the checkpoint was taken. However, there are times when certain information has changed since the last checkpoint and it should not be restored. For example, if a process is restarted on a computing unit different from the one in which the checkpoint was taken, then environment variables associated with the new computing unit, such as the name of the computing unit, are not to be restored to the values they were before the checkpoint. In order to prevent this, one or more environment variables are adjusted, after the process is restored to the reflect the state they were in prior to restoration. |
