Change CICS JCT Entry (CHGCICSJCT)

Use the Change CICS Journal Control Table (CHGCICSJCT) command to change a JCT entry.

When a file is defined in the FCT, you can specify whether or not activity on that file is to be journaled and also specify the id of the journal file. Journal files are identified by a number in the range 1 through 99. In the JCT, you define the characteristics of each journal file.

Library (LIB)

Enter the name of the OS/400 library that contains the group. Possible values are:

*LIBL: The library list is used to locate the first OS/400 library that contains the group.
*CURLIB: The current library contains the group. If no current library is specified, the QGPL library is used.
library-name: The name of the OS/400 library that contains the group.

Group (GROUP)

Enter the name of the group containing the JCT entry to be changed.

group-name: The group name may have a maximum length of 10 characters. The first character must be alphabetic, or one of the special characters, $, @, or #. The remaining characters can be alphanumeric or one of the special characters, $, @, or #.

Number (JFILE)

Enter the user journal number. This user journal can also be used for automatic journaling of file activity. The number is also used to identify this JCT entry.

journal: A number in the range 1 through 99.

Status (JRNSTS)

Indicates whether or not the journal number can be used.

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
*ENABLED: The journal number can be used.
*DISABLED: The journal number cannot be used.

Automatic switching (JRNSWT)

Indicates whether or not the journal can be switched automatically, when it is full, to the next file generation

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
*YES: The journal will be switched automatically when it is full.
*NO: The journal will not be switched automatically when it is full.

Journal Library (JRNLIB)

Note: The iSeries file name that is used will be generated by the CICS control region. The iSeries file name is composed of the mask: AEGJCnnxxx where nn is the journal number and xxx is the generation number.

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
library-name: The maximum length is ten characters. The first character must be alphabetic, or one of the special characters, $, @, or #. The remaining characters can be alphanumeric or one of the special characters, $, @, or #.

Record capacity (RECLMT)

The number of records accumulated in order to switch to the next generation of the journal. This field is valid only when the JRNSWT field contains *YES.

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
number-of-records-per-file: A number in the range 1 through 99999.

Switch journal at startup (NEWJRN)

Indicates whether or not the journal will be switched to the next generation when the CICS control region is started. This field is valid only when the JRNSWT field contains *YES.

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
*NO: Switch only when the journal is full.
*YES: Switch when the CICS control region is started normally and when the journal is full.

Submit user job when switched (USRJOB)

The iSeries program that is submitted via the SBMUSRJOB CL command when the journal is switched. This field is valid only when the JRNSWT field contains *YES.

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
*NONE: No iSeries job is submitted when the journal is switched.
job-submit-when-switched: The maximum length is ten characters. The first character must be alphabetic, or one of the special characters, $, @, or #. The remaining characters can be alphanumeric or one of the special characters, $, @, or #.

Submit user job at shutdown (SBMUSRJOB)

Possible values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
*NO: Do not submit the iSeries job when CICS control region ends.
*YES: Submit the iSeries job when CICS control region ends.

File (JRNFILE)

Possible file name values are:

*SAME: Keep the value currently specified in the JCT entry.
journal-name: Specify the name of the file.
