I've just moved my CKPT1 to the CF, CKPT2 back to DASD, I don't see any 
difference, We've never had a ckpt lock issue with both on DASD, on DS8870's. 
the big problem I had, was not thinking ahead with regards to DR, I moved both 
CKPT1 and 2 to the CF :( then tried to go back...the DR CF was not part of the 
prod. so cold start in DR :( 
since we use the same spool volumes, I could have defined new spool volumes and 
moved on, but in the heat of the DR moment, I was not thinking

Subject: JES2 checkpoint location 

When XCF was being rolled out one of the early suggestions was to put the 
primary checkpoint in a coupling facility with the alternate on disk. Now 
I'm being told by IBM that since the dasd is so fast now they're 
recommending both checkpoints be on disk. 

Anyone else heard of this or done it already? Curiosity is running rampant.
