Managing the journal receivers

How to manage the journal receivers. If you choose to manage journal receivers manually, use the following procedure to detach, save and delete a journal receiver:

1. Type CHGJRN JRN(QAUDJRN) JRNRCV(*GEN). This command does the following:

   1. Detaches the currently attached receiver.

   2. Creates a new receiver with the next sequential number.

   3. Attaches the new receiver to the journal.

      For example, if the current receiver is AUDRCV0003, the system creates and attaches a new receiver called AUDRCV0004.

      The Work with Journal Attributes (WRKJRNA) command tells you which receiver is currently attached: WRKJRNA QAUDJRN.

2. Use the Save Object (SAVOBJ) command to save the detached journal receiver. Specify object type *JRNRCV.

3. Use the Delete Journal Receiver (DLTJRNRCV) command to delete the receiver. If you try to delete the receiver without saving it, you receive a warning message.
