Recovery operations for journal management

 

This topic provides instructions about how to use journaling to recover data on your iSeries™ server.

You can perform recovery tasks if you have an abnormal system end, need to recover a damaged journal, journal receiver, or journaled object.

• Determining recovery needs using journal status
  You can use the Work with Journal (WRKJRN) command to display the damage status of a journal and display whether or not the last IPL was normal.

• Recovery for journal management after abnormal system end
  This topic describes the recovery actions that take place in the event of an abnormal system end.

• Recovering from a damaged journal receiver
  If a journal receiver becomes damaged, the system sends message CPF8136 or message CPF8137 to the system operator and the job log.

• Recovering a damaged journal
  If a journal becomes damaged, the system sends message CPF8135 to the system operator and to the job log.

• Recovery of journaled objects
  One of the primary advantages of journaling is its ability to return a journaled object to its current state since the last save.
