receiver will have on auxiliary storage.</p>
<div class="section">The actual auxiliary storage used will be somewhat larger because
the system writes additional entries for such actions as opening and closing
objects unless you to omit open and close journal entries when start journaling
for database physical files or integrated file system objects.</div>

It writes additional entries for object level activity, such as opening and closing the object, adding a member, or changing an object attribute.

<div><div class="section"><p>Use Journal receiver calculator. The Journal receiver calculator
provides an easy way for you to estimate the size of your journal receiver
without setting up journaling.</p>
<p>The calculator assumes the following:</p>
<ul><li>You are journaling after-images only.</li>
<li>You are using a single journal receiver for an entire day's transactions.</li>
<li>You are journaling database physical files only. It does not include estimates
for access path journaling, integrated file system objects, data areas, data
queues, or user-created entries.</li>
<li>You are not minimizing entry-specific data for the files.</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

<div class="nested1" xml:lang="en-us" id="method2test"><a name="method2test"><!-- --></a><h2 class="topictitle2">Method 2 - Running a test</h2>
<div><div class="section"><p>Another method for estimating the size of the journal receiver
is to run a test. This method is more accurate because it includes all journal
entries. Additionally, this method will work for any object type which can
be journaled, not just database physical files unlike method one. To use this
method, you must either have journaling set up already or you must set it
up.</p>
<p>If you are already using journaling, skip steps <a href="#method2test__rcvstep1">1</a> and <a href="#method2test__rcvstep2">2</a> below.
Instead, issue a Display Journal Receiver Attributes (DSPJRNRCVA) command
before the time period so you can compare sizes from the beginning of the
period to the end.</p>
<p>This method assumes that the same receiver is used
during the whole test. If there is a change journal to attach a new journal
receiver during the test, you must include the sizes of all the receivers.</p>
