System managed journal receivers
System managed journal receivers
OS/400 can automatically manage the QAUDJRN journal receivers. The result will be that when the attached receiver is full, the operating system will automatically create a new receiver, detach the old receiver from QAUDJRN and then attach the new receiver to the journal.
1. On a command line, type WRKJRNA, press < F4> . Enter QAUDJRN for the Journal and leave *LIBL for the library. Your screen should like the screen shown below:
================================================================================
Type choices, press Enter.
Journal . . . . . . . . . . . . > QAUDJRN Name, *INTSYSJRN Library . . . . . . . . . . . *LIBL Name, *LIBL, *CURLIB Output . . . . . . . . . . . . . * *, *PRINT

After you have made note of all of the necessary information press <F3> to exit the Work with Journal Attributes screen.
1. On a command line, type CRTJRNRCV press < F4> . The journal receiver needs to be at least one number larger than the one noted above in Step 1. For example, if ZAUDJR0115 is attached, use ZAUDJR0116 here. The library needs to match the library for the journal receiver shown above (QGPL for example), Auxiliary storage pool ID is *LIBASP, Journal receiver threshold is variable (I suggest 1919999). Text should be 'Audit Journal Receiver'. Below is an example of what the screen should look like before you press <Enter>
================================================================================
Type choices, press Enter.
Journal receiver . . . . . . . . ZAUDJR0116 Name

After you have verified the information is correct. Press <Enter>. This will create a new journal receiver on your system.
2. On a command line, type CHGJRN, press < F4>. The journal to be changed is QAUDJRN and library is QSYS (unless otherwise displayed in Step 1). Press < Enter> .
The returned screen should be filled in as noted below. The Journal receiver number used is the one you created in Step 2 above. Also, make sure that the Manage receivers option is specified as *SYSTEM

After you have made all of the changes shown above, press < Enter>. This will attach your newly created receiver, and tell the operating system to start managing the journal receivers.
Use the WRKJRNA command as in step 1 and press F15 from the screen where the attached journal number is displayed. This will show all associated receivers and you may choose to delete them as appropriate for your operation.
See also Basic security Journal Receiver Management for information on maintaining the journal receiver files themselves.
