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.
You can also use one of the following to remove a remote journal:
- iSeries™ Navigator
- Remove Remote Journal (QjoRemoveRemoteJournal) API
- Remove Remote Journal (RMVRMTJRN) command
You must start iSeries Navigator, the QjoRemoveRemoteJournal API, or the RMVRMTJRN command on the source system for the journal on the source system identifying which remote journal to remove.
When using any of these methods, the replication of journal entries to the remote journal to be removed cannot be currently active. If the remote journal state is *ACTIVE, you must inactivate the replication of journal entries to the remote journal.
The remote journal, and any associated journal receivers,
are not deleted from the target system when you remove a remote journal. Removing
a remote journal does not initiate any processing on the target system. Once
the remote journal is removed from the journal on the source system, you are
responsible for deleting the remote journal and associated journal receivers,
if desired.
You can add this remote journal back to the remote journal function definition for the journal on the source system.
Once a remote journal is removed, the journal receivers are no longer protected from deletion.
The following is the input that you must provide to remove a remote journal on a target system:
- The journal name and library on the source system from which the remote journal is being removed.
- The remote journal name and library on the target system that is being removed.
- A relational database directory entry, which identifies the target system and other necessary communications information.
