<h1 class="topictitle1">Reasons to journal before-images</h1>
|
|
<div><p>When you journal an object, the system always writes an after-image for every change that is made. You can request that the system write before-image journal entries for database files and data
|
|
areas. All other object types only journal after-images. This significantly increases the auxiliary storage requirements for journaling.</p>
|
|
<p>However, you can choose to journal before-images for these reasons:</p>
|
|
<ul><li>Before-images are required for a backout recovery, where you remove journal changes with the Remove Journaled Changes (RMVJRNCHG) command rather than applying journal changes to a restored copy of
|
|
an object. Backout recovery is often complex, particularly if multiple users and programs are accessing the same object. It is most commonly used when new applications or programs are being tested.</li>
|
|
<li>For database physical files, before-images are required to use the Compare Journal Images (CMPJRNIMG) command. This command highlights the differences between the before-images and after-images. It
|
|
is sometimes used to audit changes to a database file.</li>
|
|
<li>For database physical files, if you want a copy of the record that is deleted to be part of the deleted record journal entry information, you must specify before-images.</li>
|
|
<li>Commitment control requires before-images for the system to roll back uncommitted changes. When you open a database file under commitment control, the system automatically journals both before-images
|
|
and after-images while the commitment definition is active. If you normally journal only after-images, the system writes before-images only for the changes made under commitment control. If the system initiates
|
|
the journaling of before-images, you cannot use them to remove journaled changes. Commitment control does not support integrated file system objects, data areas, or data queues. </li>
|
|
<li>Access path journaling also requires before-images for the system to use for IPL recovery. When you journal access paths, or the system journals an access path to provide system-managed access-path
|
|
protection, the system will automatically journal both before and after-images. If you normally journal only after-images, the system also writes before-images if you are journaling the access path. </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>You can select before-images on an object-by-object basis. You specify whether you want after-images or both when you start journaling for a database file or a data area. After you start journaling a
|
|
database file or a data area, you can use the Change Journal Object (CHGJRNOBJ) command to change whether you are journaling before-images. </p>
