Journal management

The main purpose for journal management is to enable you to recover the changes to an object that have occurred since the object was last saved.

You can also use journal management for:

• An audit trail of activity that occurs for objects on the system
• Recording activity that has occurred for objects other than those you can journal
• Quicker recovery when restoring from save-while-active media
• Assist in the replication of object changes to another system either for high availability or workload balancing
• Assistance in testing application programs

You can use a journal to define what objects you want to protect with journal management. In the integrated file system , you can journal stream files, directories, and symbolic links. Only objects in "root" (/), QOpenSys, and UDFS file systems are supported.
