Re: How to enable journalling?

Hi,

Journaling files is mandatory on AS400 to allow "commit-rollback" feature on 
JDBC - using connection.setAutoCommit(false).
Each file concerned by the update/insert/delete requests needs to be updated.
If these files are located in a library created by CRTLIB, Journaling is not 
initiated.
To initiate Journaling automatically on all files from a library, you can 
create this library with SQL request "CREATE COLLECTION YOUR_LIB_NAME" (surely 
also with CREATE SCHEMA command as Dieter Bender wrote)
To initiate journaling manually:
- Create a journal receiver (CRTJRNRCV LIB/JRNRCVNAME): this journal receiver 
will remind of all operation on all records for journaled files
- Create a journal CRTJRN JRN(LIB/JOURNAL) JRNRCV(LIB/JRNRCVNAME). The Journal 
is the "gate" where data passes through to be stored in associated journal 
receiver. This is useful for instance to change/clear the receiver without 
stopping journaling, and without changing journaling properties.
- Start journaling your files STRJRNPF FILE(LIB/FILE1 LIB/FILE2 ...) - see 
STRJRNPF command options like OMTJRNE(*OPNCLO) for instance.
- To end journaling a file, use ENDJRNPF FILE(...)

Note that journaling stores any requests performed on journaled files. The 
journal receiver size may grow significantly for many database use/updates.
If the size of the receiver becomes too large, creates a new journal receiver 
and change the "link" between the journal and the "attached" receiver (see 
CHGJRN command)
