Resolving name conflicts when restoring journal receivers

When you restore a journal, the system creates and attaches a new journal receiver. The system attempts to name this journal receiver so that a name conflict does not occur.

However, in rare cases, the new journal receiver that the system creates after you restore a journal might have a name that matches the name of a journal receiver that you need to restore. If this occurs, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new journal receiver with a name separate from your normal naming convention.
    For example, type: CRTJRNRCV JRNRCV(library-name/TMP0001).
  2. Use the Change Journal (CHGJRN) command to attach the temporary journal receiver: CHGJRN JRN(library-name/journal-name) JRNRCV(library-name/TMP0001).
  3. Delete the journal receiver that has the name conflict.
    This journal receiver should not have any entries you need for your recovery because it was created when the journal was restored.
  4. Restore the journal receivers.
  5. Create a journal receiver that continues your naming convention and has the same journal receiver attributes.
  6. Use the CHGJRN command again to attach the journal receiver that you created in step 5.
