Re: Journal Receiver Creation Based On Time

Creating a new journal every hour is going to make a rollback or recovery a
far more interesting (read: difficult) feat.

You can back up active journals, why not just run your backup on an hourly
basis? You'll be stacking back up on top of back ups, but hey it's only
disk space.

Once the backup is complete, consider getting rid of the previous 24 hours
of backups to save space on the VTL.

Hi All

New to journaling so have some basic questions.

We are getting a VTL and want to save journals every hour, which will be

replicated to the cloud.

Basically what I want to do is every hour create new receiver and save

detached receiver to VTL.

I see where I need to have *USER on the Manage receivers but not seeing

where I specify the length of time.

Do I just create a new receiver every hour and that automatically

detaches the previous one?

Yes, this is the way it works. You can generate a new receiver when you
want. You just have to handle yourself the delete after your backup.

Example:

CHGJRN JRN(DIMARCO2/JRN) JRNRCV(*GEN)
Journal receiver JRN0000132 created in library DIMARCO2.
Journal receivers JRN0000131 and *N detached.
Sequence number not reset. First sequence number is 416.

CPF7020 information message contains the name of the detached receiver.
Therefore you can run something like RCVMSG MSGTYPE(*INFO) RMV(*NO)
MSGDTA(&MSGDTA), then substring &MSGDTA to find the receiver name based
on CPF7020 message description.

What is the best practice for accomplishing this?
