We've space considerations on the system as Global journal receivers take 1/3 to 3/4TB per day, we used to keep 3 days of these and it was reduced to 1 day citing that you would always find out any production issues within that timeframe.

I extract from our journal receiver the information for certain key

different files in the archive file.)
