On one system with very little table journaling and some

But on a much larger system with VERY EXTENSIVE table journaling
we'll see:

User libraries 27.81 1765713.12 ...
% of Size in Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
i5/OS items reported: History files .02 1311.18 Journal receivers .02 1266.45 ...

The library containing all of our journals is:

Library/ % of Size in Object Type Owner Library 1000 bytes
#MXJRN *LIB MIMIXOWN 711021916.2

Objects in that library which are not journal receivers are not significant, about 16MB.

So, why aren't these journals not considered part of "Journal receivers" underneath "i5/OS items reported"? Because they are in
#MIMIX and not QUSRSYS? Because they are receivers from table
journals and not from audit journals (QAUDJRN)?


Since the MIMIX journal receivers are not both "Q" prefixed objects and located in either a "system library" or a "Q" prefixed pseudo-"user library", I would not expect the accounting of those objects to appear under a heading "i5/OS items".

I would not be surprised however, to see all "Q" prefixed *JRNRCV objects in either a true "system library" or a pseudo-"user library" accounted under that section heading "i5/OS items", as a side effect of "ease of implementation" for the reporting facility. Such an implementation is likely, because given any explicit validation of each *JRN by name & library classified as appropriately being part of the OS [according to some algorithm], and then accounting only the associated receivers for each of those journal objects, even that could not be ensured to be accurate accounting.

I could not find a KB document that describes the various categories in the system "disk space report", although I seem to recall that there was such a document at one time.
