Journaling

Journaling can be enabled by any of the following methods:

• autoJournal function of SQDR Plus: see autoJournal

• Start Journal Physical File (STRJRNPF) CL command

• create and populate a data area named QDFTJRN in the library

• Start Journal Library (STRJRNLIB) CL command (v6r1 and later)

The latter two methods affect only new files created in the library; refer to the IBM i documentation for details.

Use DSPOBJD or DSPFD to determine whether a database file is currently being journaled:

DSPOBJD OBJ(MYLIB.MYFILE) OBJTYPE(*FILE) DETAIL(*FULL)

Examine the output for:

File is currently journaled . . . . . . . . : Yes
Current or last journal . . . . . . . . . . : QSQJRN
