When you create a journal, you must specify the name of the journal receiver to be attached to it. If you are using the Create Journal (CRTJRN) command to create the journal, the journal receiver must exist before you can create the journal.
The receiver that you attach may not have been previously attached to a different journal or have been interrupted while being attached to any journal. You can specify up to two journal receivers, but the system ignores the second receiver.
With iSeries™ Navigator, you simply create the journal. When you create the journal, iSeries Navigator creates the journal receiver in the library you specify in the New Journal dialog.
