While starting Appian Engines do we need to do checkpoint first before starting Appian Engines for the proper startup ?

If there was an unexpected shutdown, the Appian engines will replay transaction once you start the environment again. This increases the start-up time.

Once everything starts, and checkengine shows Okay for all engines, run a proper shutdown with stop-suite so mimic a checkpoint. This is better than just a checkpoint to get an accurate sense of the memory usage by booting engines without transactions to replay.

You can't do a checkpoint if the engines are not running.
