RE: Remote journals and APYJRNCHG

["Raikov, Lo" <Lo.Raikov@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's right. As far as I can see, the main purpose of the remote journaling
function as it exists today is providing additional support for such 3rd
party replication products as MIMIX or Vision. Other than that, I'm not sure
how I can meaningfully use remote journaling function at all.

Near as I can tell what Lo wants to be able to do is to replicate a file or
set of files onto a remote machine using the remote journalling function.
In my opinion that's the most obvious use for remote journalling - the
contortions for the restoring back to the original system scenarios border
on the ridiculous unless you think that maybe IBM didn't want to kill the
businesses based on selling replication solutions.

Leaving out the ability to apply remote journals on the target remote
journalling system cannot have been an oversight.

If someone has code to read the receiver and apply the changes I would be
interested as well. If it doesn't already exist would make a great Open
source project for the entire Iseries community.
