Create a journal receiver using iSeries Navigator

A journal receiver is the file that contains the information the journal is recording. When you create a journal, the receiver is automatically created. However, if you want to manually swap receivers, you must first create a new journal receiver.

To create a journal receiver using iSeries™ Navigator, follow these steps:

1. From iSeries Navigator, expand the system you want to use.
2. Expand Databases.
3. Expand the database and library that contains the journal for which you want to add a receiver.
4. Right-click the journal for which you want to add a receiver and click Properties.
5. Click Receivers.
6. On the Receivers for Journal... window, click New.
7. Specify a name (limited to 10 characters), a library to contain the receiver, a description and a storage space threshold.
8. Click OK to close the New Journal Receiver window.
9. Click OK to close the Receivers for Journal... window.
10. Click OK to close the Journal Properties window.

When you create a new journal, you can also create a new receiver by following these steps:

1. On the Advanced Journal Attributes window, click New Receiver.
2. On the New Journal Receiver window, specify a name (limited to 10 characters), a library to contain the receiver, a description and a storage space threshold.
3. Click OK to close the New Journal Receiver window.
4. Click OK to close the Advanced Journal Attributes window. If you do not specify values for the journal receiver, it will be created with the default values.
