Recovery operations for journal management

Provides tasks that show you how to use journaling to recover data on your iSeries™ server.

The following information contains recovery tasks to perform if you have an abnormal system end, need to recover a damaged journal, journal receiver, or journaled object:

• Determine recovery needs using journal status
  Use the Work with Journal (WRKJRN) command to display the damage status of a journal and display whether or not the last IPL was normal.
• Recovery for journal management after abnormal system end
  This topic describes the recovery actions that take place in the event of an abnormal system end.
• Recover a damaged journal receiver
  If a journal receiver becomes damaged, the system sends message CPF8136 or message CPF8137 to the system operator and the job log.
• Recover a damaged journal
  If a journal becomes damaged, the system sends message CPF8135 to the system operator and to the job log.
• Recover journaled objects
  One of the primary advantages of journaling is its ability to return a journaled object to its current state since the last save.
