Re: Read IFS journal data

I already talked to them.  They are not clear how to read them neither. 
They just use the journals to replicate data from one place to another. 
They recommended me to ask the iSeries community...

Subject: Read IFS journal data 


Hi list:

I am using iTerra (Echo2) and we have a journal that is tracking all the 
activity in it.  I am specifically worried about one folder's activity and 

I want to be able to read the journal, write the data into a work file and 

do my own analysis, reports, etc.  However most of the data in the journal 

is meaningless to me (lot of "garbage" data, you know). I also have MONIFS 

but I do not know how to set it up or even if I can because currently the 
iTerra journal is attached to the folder and tracking the activity.  As a 
result, I decided to not to go with the MONIFS but use the journal data, 
read and write the information in a separate workfile and then manipulate 
as I wish.

At least I need to have the following information (like the MONIFS 
command):

1. Time stamp 
2. Object type 
3. Object name 
4. Operation performed: 
* CREATED 
* REPLACED 
* UNLINKED 
* DELETED 
* MOVED 
* RENAMED 
* AUTHORITY-GRANTED 
* AUTHORITY-GRANTED WITH REPLACE 
* AUTHORITY-REVOKED 
* AUTHORITY-GRTUSRAUT 
* RESTORED EXISTING OBJECT 
* RESTORED NEW OBJECT 
* OWNER CHANGED 

5. Result of operation 
* If move / rename: new object name. 
* If authority change: affected user profile. 
* If change of ownership: previous owner -> new owner. 
* Job performing the event

How I can pull this data from the journal and get most of the data I am 
needing?

Thanks in advance!
