Re: Going from little to no journalling to MIMIX

Rob,


> From an old (S/34) geezer: 

The amount of space required by journaling would be
determined, as others have put it, on several factors such
as change frequency, size of receivers, what kind of info
are you recording etc.  Depending on how MIMIX works you
could journal only the *AFTER image of the record and not
need the record the OPEN/CLOSE journal entries. That would
be a big space saver.

There is a "Journal receiver Calculator" on the V5R3
Infocenter that is supposed to give you a rough estimate of
the size of the Receiver.

Also, if your shop is new to journaling, please be aware of
the effect of the OBJJRN parameter in the SAVxxx commands.
When we began journaling this was one that bite us a little
hard.

Hope this helps,

Luis Rodriguez
