Re: Journal Receiver Creation Based On Time

CHGJRN (journal_name} *GEN creates a new receiver and detaches the previous
journal.

Each journal receiver has unique, easy-to-find entries with the name of the
previous and next receiver and library (forward and backward links), which
is exactly the information you need to run a save and to do other
interesting things if you like to fiddle with such things.

My approach to a similar scenario involved a job scheduler entry that ran
the journal change job every few hours. Then I added a simple exit program
to the CHGJRN command (it's actually not hard if you RTFM; the exit
parameter list is straightforward) to pick up the new journal receiver name
and library, save it, and FTP it offsite.

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?

What is the best practice for accomplishing this?
