Re: Monitoring IFS objects for deletion at V5R4

The following will catch deletions on V5R4:

SUBTREE (*ALL)

I vaguely recall seeing something on the customer box about the
directory being journaled, and I vaguely recall looking for journal
entries documenting the deletions, without success, and concluding that
STMF deletions weren't included in the journaling.

I just tried an experiment on our V6 box:

CRTJRNrcv JRNRCV(MERCURY/FOOBARJRN1)
Journal receiver FOOBARJRN1 created in library MERCURY.

CRTJRN JRN(MERCURY/FOOBARJRN) JRNRCV(MERCURY/FOOBARJRN1)
Journal FOOBARJRN created in library MERCURY.

STRJRN OBJ(('/foobar')) JRN('/qsys.lib/mercury.lib/foobarjrn.jrn')
SUBTREE(*ALL)
5 of 5 objects have started journaling.

(At the time, /foobar contained 4 STMFs, including one I'd just created,
called "foo")

edtf '/foobar/bar'
(after putting meaningless text into "bar," I exited EDTF, and found
myself with 5 STMFs in /foobar.)

I tried several variations on DSPJRN JRN(FOOBARJRN), none of which
showed me any entries to indicate the creation of /foobar/bar.

I deleted /foobar/foo and /foobar/bar.

I tried more variations on DSPJRN, none of which showed any entries to
indicate that foo or bar had ever existed, and one of which,
DSPJRN JRN(FOOBARJRN) OBJPATH(('*')) SUBTREE(*ALL)
sat there for a while, before abending with:
User not enrolled in system distribution directory.
File system error occurred. Error number 3474.

I then created /foobar/frobozz, and repeated the last variation

DSPJRN JRN(FOOBARJRN) OBJPATH(('/foobar/*')) SUBTREE(*ALL) INCHIDENT(*YES)

It came back with entries for the three STMFs that were there before I
added /foobar/foo, but no entry to show the creation of /foobar/frobozz.


Now what?
