Interesting. I'll try to take a look and see if I can reproduce today.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the response. I am actually testing it on a
single node (though in the near future i will run it on a set of
nodes). Therefore, my application is running on the same machine as
mpirun.
When I run the application and triggers the checkpointing mechanism
from a seperate terminal, it checkpoints fine.
However, when I try to checkpoint it from within the main program as
show below, it hangs.
kind regards,
Jean

Is your application running on the same machine as mpirun?
How did you configure Open MPI? Note that is program will not work
without the FT thread enabled, which would be one reason why it
would seem to hang (since it is waiting for the application to enter
the MPI library):
--enable-ft-thread --enable-mpi-threads
I do not think the message that you saw is related. Often
orte_checkpoint cannot figure out the jobid on first contact with
the HNP/mpirun process, so this is displayed as an INVALID handle.

However, when I tried running it on one of the machines at my uni,
with suse linux installed, the application hangs as soon as the ompi-
checkpoint is triggered. This is what I get:
