Freezepointing creates a freezepoint file for you before or after specific transactions if you set up auto-freezepointing.

To set an auto-freezepoint:

1. In the Configuring Window, select a workspace.

2. Choose Workspace Properties.

3. Select the Freezepointing tab.

4. Click Yes for the times you want a freezepoint created.

5. Click OK.

Freezepointing creates freezepoint files in your workspace under the Codemgr_wsdata/Freezepoints directory. Autofreezepoint creates a directory for each day in the format Codemgr_wsdata/Freezepoints/YYYY/MM/DD where YYYY is the year, MM is the month,and DD is the day. The freezepoint file has a name of HHMMSS.fp.Z, where HH is the hour, MM is the minute and SS is the second. The .Z extension indicates that autofreezepoint files are compressed using the /bin/compress command.
