<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan for journal use of auxiliary storage</h1>
<div><p>If you are journaling an object, journal management writes a copy of every object change to the journal receiver. It writes additional entries for object level activity, such as opening and closing
the object, adding a member, or changing an object attribute. If you have a busy system and journal many objects, your journal receivers can quickly become very large.</p>
<p>The maximum size for a single journal receiver varies. It depends on how the system allocates the journal receiver across multiple disk arms. The maximum size ranges from approximately 1.9 GB to 1.0
TB depending on what value you specified for the associated journal's receiver size option.</p>
<p>To avoid possible problems with a journal receiver exceeding the maximum size allowed on the system, specify a threshold for the receiver of no more than 900 000 000 KB if you specified
a journal receiver maximum-size option for the associated journal. Otherwise, specify a threshold of no more than 1 441 000 KB.</p>

Journaling affects the disk arms that store the journal receiver.</li>

You can use the methods below to estimate the effect a journal receiver will have on auxiliary storage.</li>

Use the journal receiver calculator to estimate the size of your journal receiver.</li>

Use this procedure to estimate the size of your journal receiver.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakireducesize.htm">Methods to reduce the storage that journal receivers use</a></strong><br />
Reduce the size of journal entries by methods such as journaling
after-images only, or specifying certain journaling options including the
Fixed Length Data (FIXLENDTA) option on the <span class="cmdname">Create Journal (CRTJRN)</span> and <span class="cmdname">Change
Journal (CHGJRN)</span> commands.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakidiskpoolrcv.htm">Determine the type of disk pool in which to place journal receivers</a></strong><br />
Use disk pools (auxiliary storage pool) to control which objects are allocated to which groups of disk units. If you are journaling many active objects to the same journal, the journal receiver can become a performance bottleneck. One way to minimize the performance impact of journaling is to put the journal receiver in a separate disk pool. This also provides additional protection because your objects are on different disk units from the journal receiver, which contains a copy of changes to the objects.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakiiasp.htm">Journal management and independent disk pools</a></strong><br />
Independent disk pools are disk pools 33 through 255. Independent disk pools can be user-defined file system (UDFS) independent disk pools or library-capable independent disk pools.</li>
