Problems restoring journal receivers

If you are journaling objects on both your existing system and your new system, you might have cases where two different journal receivers exist with the same name.

Typically the coexistence of two different journal receivers occurs because you change journal receivers on both systems. The systems automatically generate the same next-receiver name.

In some environments, you might not need the information that is in the journal receivers on your new system. Use the Change Journal (CHGJRN) command to create and attach a new journal receiver with a unique name. Then you can save and delete the journal receivers that you do not need (on your new system).

Note: This strategy applies when you are using a change-object synchronization method. If you plan to apply journaled changes to synchronize systems, you need to devise a method for naming and changing journal receivers that allows you to successfully restore journal receivers.
