Re: Questions on RCVJRNE and exit program

The RCVJRNE command itself is quite efficient. Since you haven't described
what your exit program will be doing with the journal receiver entries,
then the answer is gonna be rather vague as well.

We have a number different processes using journal receiver entries and
processing them in batch is quite controllable with the use of RUNPTY and
TimeSlice settings.

Another nice application is to invoke remote journals... Having a second
400 process the journal receiver entries off-loads the RCVJRNE command
altogether.

Good luck, you're on the right track since the files are already being
journalled. No need to impact the I/O with triggers at this point.

It appears that RCVJRNE is going to solve a dilemma for us very nicely.
However, before we go headlong into it, we'd like to have an idea as to
the additional overhead and whether user response may be impacted.
Currently, the system on which we are considering doing this has thousands
of users.  Apparently, user response time is nearing an unacceptable
threshold.  I know this is vague, but is all I was given for the time
being.  So this will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to test in
our development environment of ten users on a more than ample system.  The
file which we want to do a RCVJRNE is *already* being journaled; so the
"additional impact", as I see it, is strictly whatever the RCVJRNE & exit
program is doing.

Before anyone asks, using a trigger program is out of the question, since
triggers are already in use for the file and we are not being allowed to
change them.

TIA, GA
