Saving journaled objects and libraries
When you save a journaled object or journaled library, the system writes an entry to the journal for each object that you save.
Keep the following considerations in mind when you save journaled objects:
- When you start journaling an object, save that object after you start journaling it.
- After you add a new physical file member to a journaled database file, you should save that database file.
- Save an integrated file system object after it is added to a directory which has the inherit journaling attribute on.
- When you are journaling libraries, objects created, moved, or restored into a journaled library are also journaled.
You can journal the objects that are listed below:
- Access paths
- Database files
- Data areas
- Data queues
- Materialized query tables
- Byte stream files
- Directories
- Symbolic links
- Libraries
You can journal libraries like any other object. Journaling can start automatically for objects such as database files, data areas, and data queues that are created, moved into, or restored into a journaled library. The library's inheritance rules determine which objects to start journaling automatically and with what journaling attributes. You can replay changes to journaled libraries by using the Apply Journaled Changes (APYJRNCHG) command. To start journaling for a library, use the Start Journal Library (STRJRNLIB) command.
