<h1 class="topictitle1">Special considerations for journal entries</h1>
<div><p>Many journaled integrated file system operations internally use
commitment control to form a single transaction from the multiple functions
performed during the operations.</p>
<p>These journaled operations should not be considered complete unless the
commitment control cycle has a Commit journal entry (Journal Code C, Type
CM). Journaled operations that contain a Rollback journal entry (Journal Code
C, Type RB) in the commitment control cycle are failed operations, and the
journal entries within them should not be replayed or replicated.</p>
<p>Journaled integrated file system entries (Journal Code B) that use commitment
control in this manner include:</p>
<ul><li>AA — Change Audit Value</li>
<li>B0 — Begin Create</li>
<li>B1 — Create Summary</li>
<li>B2 — Add link</li>
<li>B3 — Rename/Move</li>
<li>B4 — Unlink (Parent Directory)</li>
<li>B5 — Unlink (Link)</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />B7 — Created object authority information<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li>FA — Attribute Change</li>
<li>JT — Start Journal (only when journaling is started because of an operation
in a directory with the inherit journaling attribute of Yes)</li>
<li>OA — Authority Change</li>
<li>OG — Object Primary Group Change</li>
<li>OO — Object Owner Change</li>
</ul>
<p>Several integrated file system journal entries have a specific data field
indicating whether the entry is a summary entry. Operations that send summary
entry types will send two of the same entry types to the journal. The first
entry contains a subset of the entry specific data. The second entry contains
complete entry specific data and will indicate that it is a summary entry.
Programs that are replicating the object or replaying the operation will generally
only be interested in the summary entries.</p>
<p>For a create operation in a journaled directory, the B1 journal entry (Create
Summary) is considered the summary entry.</p>
<p>Some journaled operations need to send a journal entry that is conversely
related to the operation. For example, a commitment control cycle containing
a B4 journal entry (Unlink) may also contain a B2 journal entry (Add Link).
This type of scenario will only occur in operations that result in a Rollback
journal entry (C — RB) .</p>
<p>This scenario may occur for two reasons:</p>
<ol><li>The operation was about to fail, and the entry was needed internally for
error path cleanup.</li>
<li>The operation was interrupted by a system outage, and during the subsequent
IPL, recovery that needed to send the entry was performed to rollback the
interrupted operation.</li>
</ol>
