Journal receivers associated with a remote journal

 

Journal receivers that are associated with a remote journal are exact replicas of the corresponding journal receivers that are associated with the journal on the source system.

The receiver directory for a remote journal is maintained in the same way as the receiver directory is maintained for the related source journal. Consecutive receivers associated with a remote journal are linked together to form a receiver chain. Receiver chain breaks are forced and maintained in a similar manner for local and remote journals.

However, the following are some other differences for remote journals and the journal receivers that were attached to remote journals:

• A remote journal does not have to have a currently attached journal receiver. However, if the remote journal is ready to receive journal entries, then it must have an attached receiver; all the journal entries will be replicated to that attached receiver.

• The receiver that is currently attached to a remote journal that is in the catch-up phase can be a different journal receiver than is currently attached to the source journal.

• The receiver that is currently attached to an asynchronously maintained remote journal can be a different journal receiver than is currently attached to the source journal.

• The receiver that is currently attached to a synchronously maintained remote journal is the same journal receiver as is currently attached to the source journal.

• You can delete the journal receiver that is attached to a remote journal if the journal state of that journal is not *ACTIVE.

• You can delete the journal receivers that are associated with a remote journal in any order, regardless of their position within the receiver directory chain.

• The creation date and time stamps for remote journals are always those of the system on which the journals were created by the remote journal function. This is also true for journal receivers that were attached to remote journals.

• The save and restore date and time stamps for remote journals are always those of the system on which the save or restore operation took place. This is also true for the journal receivers that are associated with the remote journals.

• The attach and detach time stamps for a journal receiver that was attached to a remote journal are always those of the attach and detach time stamps of the local journal receiver.

• When a journal receiver that is associated with a remote journal is saved, deleted or restored, the following journal entries are not deposited:

  • J RD - Journal receiver deleted

  • J RF - Journal receiver saved, storage freed

  • J RR - Journal receiver restored

  • J RS - Journal receiver saved
