It is certainly possible to journal the objects in an IFS directory. It is hard to determine much from your description without the screen shots you refer to. Perhaps they meant the objects are being journaled, but not replicated. I assume your customer is using iTera to replicate between two or more systems. iTera is a product of Vision Solutions which was recently acquired by Syncsort and they have moved aggressively to rename the company in just the last couple of weeks. They also are the owners of MIMIX which is a similar and formerly competing product. They have downsized a bit, but still have very good customer support. Did you simply try asking them for a more complete explanation?

Subject: Why would "iTera" say that an IFS directory and its contents are not journaled, when the OS says they are?
I was about to ask what iTera is, but a Google search took me right to their web site; it's some sort of High Availability product.
More to the point, we've got a customer (one of the two who raised the spectre of IFS journaling, and recently led me to learn that (1) it exists, and (2) not surprisingly, it's totally incompatible with memory-mapping of files) who is using the thing.
According to a couple of screen shots they sent us, iTera says the directory in question is not journaled. (Or at least, "Inactive,"
whatever that means in iTera.)
According to WRKLNK option 8 (and two screen shots I sent them), the operating system says it is journaled.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here?
