QRECOVERY and *CBLK error

[Krish Thirumalai <krishnithya@xxxxxxxxx>]

One of our clients is getting this message, on a regular basis on
their system operator message queus. This issue was originally passed
to IBM and their response was that the volume of journal records
written prior to sync allowing the OS to obtain a lock to detach
active journal receiver was causing the issue.

Has anyone experienced this issue before. I do realize that the *CBLK
is the commitment block, but since redesigning our application is not
an option what is our solution.

IBM's recommended solution is to create a new journal receiver (total
of 2) and separate files across both based on volume of journal record
creation.  They did say that this may or may not help if the situation
is created by a single application.

Message . . . . :   Entry not journaled to journal JRN in PRODLIB. (C   R)

Cause . . . . . :   The entry was not journaled into receiver JRNRC20384 in 
  library PRODLIB for journal JRN in library PRODLIB because of   
  reason code 1. The object associated with this entry is CBLK621188 in 
  library QRECOVERY of type *CBLK member *N, or has file ID 
  X'00000000000000000000000000000000' and path *N. If *N or hex zero appears,
  information is not available or does not apply.

  Reason code definitions:                                                   
   1 -- Space for entry cannot be allocated on journal receiver.             
   2 -- Journal is damaged.                                                  
   3 -- Attached receiver is damaged.                                        
   4 -- Journal sequence number is at the maximum value.                     
   5 -- An internal journal failure occurred.                                
   7 -- Attached receiver is off line.                                       
     8 -- Journal is off line.                                                
     9 -- A new journal receiver must be attached to the journal.             
    10 -- Journal state is *INACTIVE.                                         
    11 -- Journal is a remote journal.                                        
    12 -- Entry exceeds the maximum journal entry size.                       
    13 -- Unable to allocate large or very large space.                       
    14 -- Journal state is *STANDBY.                                          
Recovery  . . . :                                                             
    If receiver JRNRC20384 in library PRODLIB is no longer attached to
journal JRN, recovery  using CHGJRN to attach a new receiver may not
be required.
    If condition is corrected, enter R to try request again. If you do
not  want to try the request again, enter C for cancel.
    Recovery for each reason code is:                                         
   1 -- If the owning user or group profile of the journal receiver has       
 reached its storage limit, increase the maximum storage (MAXSTG parameter on 
 CHGUSRPRF). If the journal receiver has reached its maximum size, change the 
 journal (CHGJRN) to attach a new receiver.                                   
Possible choices for replying to message . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :
