RE: Skip Writing to Journal Receiver When Updating a Journaled File

["Reeve Fritchman" <reeve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

John, are you running a freight bill purge?  If so, I suggest you do it on a
weekly basis.  Otherwise, if you can schedule six hours of downtime: end
QINTER, end journaling of FRP001, FRP002, etc., run the purge, restart
journaling, and restart QINTER.  Don't forget to let the system manage the
journal receiver size; this will prevent your job from filling a single
journal receiver and locking the job.  Finally, you can solve the journal
receiver size problem by scheduling AAM808 to run hourly when the purge
process is running.

Regards,
Reeve Fritchman

Subject: Skip Writing to Journal Receiver When Updating a Journaled File


<  Do you need the journal for commitment control?

We use commitment control.  Thats the whole thing in a nut shell, we cannot
run mass updates during the week because of the potential of filling the
journal receiver.  Now this kind of mass update is not common for us, this
is part of a purge.  But it would be nice to circumvent the system.
Although I understand that defeats the whole purpose of having journaling
in the first place.
