If damage occurs to the journal or to its current receiver so that the accounting entries cannot be journaled, a CPF1302 message is sent to the QSYSOPR message queue, and the accounting data is written to the QHST log in the CPF1303 message. The job trying to send the journal entry continues normally. Recovery from a damaged journal or journal receiver is the same as for other journals.
The journal QACGJRN should not be allocated by another job. If the journal is allocated by another job, the journal entry is changed to message text and sent to the QHST log as message CPF1303.
You can use the OUTFILE parameter on the Display Journal (DSPNJRN) command to write the accounting journal entries to a database file that you can process.
You can also use the Receive Journal Entry (RCVJRNE) command on the QACGJRN journal to receive the entries as they are written to the QACGJRN journal. If the job accounting journal or journal receivers become damaged, the system continues to operate and to record accounting data in the history log. To recover from the journal or journal receiver damage, use the Work with Journal (WRKJRN) command. After recovering the damaged journal or journal receiver, change the Journal accounting information (QACGLVL) system value to a value appropriate for your installation. (Unless you change the QACGLVL system value, the system does not record accounting information in the new journal receiver.)
