It has always been an issue for those people using journalling. Given
that it took at least 10 years from the time journalling was supported
(CPF 7 I think) for people to actually start using it I am not
surprised that most people haven't encountered the problem. Even now
I'd wager that most OS/400 shops don't use journalling. A side-effect
of the legendary stability of our favourite box.
How many of the main ERP vendors ship with journalling active? Probably
zero.
How many use commitment control as a matter of course? Probably zero.
How many support the possibility? Possibly bugger all.
Any library with a journal (and/or receiver) cannot be renamed. The
help text for RNMOBJ states this. There are a number of other object
types that will also stop a library being renamed. If a library cannot
be renamed it seems reasonable that it cannot be restored under a
different name (or if it can, that some things aren't linked the way
they used to be). I would expect some error messages during the restore
explaining what didn't work.
It would certainly be possible to overcome this limitation (although I
recall someone, George Timms (?), Bill Davidson (?), explaining why it
was the way it was--something to do with object names being stored
inside journals or journal receivers--but I can't find any reference to
what I recall) but there would have to be a major amount of noise from
customers before it happens.
