Add a remote journal
Remote journals allow you to replicate journal information to a separate system. A remote journal is associated with an
existing journal. The journal on the source system may be either a local journal or another remote journal.
- In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
- Expand Databases.
- Expand the database and schema that you want to work with.
- Click the Journals container.
- Right-click the journal you want to add a remote journal to and select Properties.
- On the Journal Properties dialog, click Remote Journals.
- To add (associate) a remote journal to this journal, click Add.
- To display a list of relational database (RDB) directory entries, click the down arrow in the Relational database name box on
the Add a Remote Journal dialog.
- Select the journal type (Type 1 or Type 2).
- To associate the remote journal receivers on the target system with a different schema from that used on the source system,
select Redirect receiver.
- In the Target receiver schema field, specify the schema on the target system where the remote journal receivers are to be
located.
- Click OK.
Once you have added a remote journal, you must activate it.
Note: This task assumes that you have an RDB directory entry and that you have a user profile on the target system.
