<div><p>Some optional functions available with journal management can significantly increase auxiliary storage requirements.</p>
<p>You can select to journal both before-images and after-images. The system uses more storage if you select both before-images and after-images, although storage use is not necessarily doubled. If you
journal access paths, the before-images and after-images are written to the journal receiver when a database file is updated. Only after-images are written when a database file is added (write operation)
or deleted. Neither the before-image nor after-image is deposited into the journal if the after-image is exactly the same as the before-image.</p>
<p>Using Fixed-length options for journal entries can also increase auxiliary storage requirements. The additional storage that fixed-length options use is similar to the extra space that is used by journaling
both before-images after-images.</p>
<p>The system requires additional space to journal access paths. The space required depends on the following items:</p>
<ul><li>How many access paths are journaled.</li>
<li>How often you change the access paths. When you update a record in a database file, you cause an access path journal entry only if you update a field included in the access path.</li>
<li>The method used to update access paths. More journal entries are written if you update access paths randomly than if you update them in ascending or descending sequence. Doing a mass change to an access
path field, such as a date change, causes the fewest journal entries.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are using system-managed access-path protection and you journal database files, the system uses the same journal receiver to protect access paths for that file. This also increases the size of
your journal receivers.</p>
<p>The information in Methods to estimate a journal receiver will help you predict your requirements for auxiliary storage.</p>
