Re: Journal Receiver Creation Based On Time

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?
