Re: List remote journals and the status

As I suspected, the heavy lifting has already been done, in this case by Carsten Flensburg. In his article in System i News, APIs By Example: Manage Journal Receivers posted October 2004, he presents a command MNGJRNRCV. Based on my quick once over, it looks like this is nearly perfect. I have the System i Network Resources library CDs (several of them) but I don't find that specific source on them. Furthermore when I click on the link on the article (number 60975) the URL is not there.

Anyone know where I might find the code he wrote?

Just fill in&jrnrcvnam and&jrnrcvlib with what you get in your list
for each call - the qualified-name parameter then is constructed
automagically.
