The default JOURNALMODEL

If CICS® cannot find an installed JOURNALMODEL definition, it assumes a set of default attributes.

The attributes used are those of the following built-in default definition:
 DEFINE JOURNALMODEL(OTHERS) GROUP(LOGS)
           JOURNALNAME(*)
           STREAMNAME(&USERID..&APPLID..&JNAME.)
           TYPE(MVS)

JOURNALNAME(*) is the default journal model that CICS uses if there is no matching JOURNALMODEL entry for a journal name.
