Remote journal management

Use remote journal management to establish journals and journal receivers on a remote system that are associated with specific journals and journal receivers on a local system. Remote journal management replicates journal entries from the local system to the journals and journal receivers that are located on the remote system after they have been established.

Remote journal management allows you to establish journals and journal receivers on a remote system or to establish journal and receivers on independent disk pools that are associated with specific journals and journal receivers on a local system. The remote journaling function can replicate journal entries from the local system to the journals and journal receivers that are located on the remote system or independent disk pools after they have been established.

Use the following information to set up remote journal management:

• Remote journal concepts
  Remote journal management helps to efficiently replicate journal entries to one or more systems. You can use remote journal management with application programs to maintain a data replica. A data replica is a copy of the original data that resides on another iSeries™ server or independent disk pool. The original data resides on a primary system. Applications make changes to the original data during normal operations.
• Plan for remote journals
  The following topics provide detailed information for planning to set up remote journals:
• Set up remote journals
  These topics describe the steps you would use to create and work with a remote journal network or environment. They discuss how to establish and maintain one remote journal that is associated with one local journal.
• Remove remote journals
  You must be aware whether library redirection is in effect for the remote journal when you remove a remote journal. If it is in effect, any library name processing will substitute the redirected library name for the library name that is used for the operation on the target system.
• Activate and inactivate remote journals
  Activating a remote journal means starting and then maintaining the replication of journal entries from a source journal to a remote journal. Activating a remote journal always occurs from the source system.
• Manage remote journals
  Managing the remote journal function requires basic tasks such as:
• Scenarios: Remote journal management and recovery
  These scenarios describe the possible ways that JKL Toy Company can use remote journal management. JKL Toy Company uses the server JKLINT as their web server.
