Hi, Joe:
Here is an older article by Rick Turner that explains a lot of what's going on "under the covers" with the HA Journal Performance stuff ...
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/as400/web/benchmark/batprf.pdf

That article also suggests how you could, with only minor modifications to your applications, gain much of the benefit of "HA Journal Performance" without having that LPP installed or licensed, mainly for large batch jobs that do a lot of updates or inserts.
Hope that helps, conceptually ...
All the best,
Mark S. Waterbury

There is a lot of discussion in the help text about how this sort of
caching "may not be suitable for interactive jobs where single system
recovery is the primary reason for using journaling".  But that by
definition seems to mean that it's okay when you're in an HA environment.

This is also referred to as journal caching, if you're searching for
information on it. Its activated with the JRNCACHE(*YES) function in
CHGJRN, once you purchase the option. In summary, journal data is cached
into memory before writing to disk in larger chunks, rather than making
sure its written at every change. It makes a big difference on journaled
file write/update performance.

Yes, we've already gone to SSD, Rob, so that particular ship has already
sailed.  :)  However, I am unfamiliar with HA Journal Performance.  We
use MIMIX; I wonder if this is something I should be looking into.
Heck, for all I know we already have it, but it definitely sounds like
something I should look into.

Sometimes throwing money at hardware isn't always the answer.  Our
original foray into SSD's was a big disappointment.  Much less money for
a
much larger return on investment would have been to buy the "HA Journal
Performance" option as part of SS1.  I daresay it will be a rare
consultant who can pinpoint WHY you might need that and predict how much
it will help.
