It seems to me that keeping 12 month of journal online is a great waste of resources.
I would question the motivation for such big number. If you backup your receiver on a regular basis, you don't need them online. You can restore them on an as needed basis.
You could even, in case your management is nervous, setup a monthly journal receiver only backup.
For example:
Keep 3 month on line. Each month, move the oldest month to a dedicated tape. This way, you have 12 monthly tapes dedicated to journal. Easy to locate, fairly fast to access. You can even duplicate them for extra security.

Objet : Audit log retention & disk space
It's been recommended that we retain our audit log journal receivers on DASD to 3-12 months. I figured the amount of disk required for that, and it's not good. I know that DB journals have ways to reduce their size. Is there anything similar for the audit journals? Other than changing what's logged, any way to reduce their size?
TIA
