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.

  1. In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
  2. Expand Databases.
  3. Expand the database and schema that you want to work with.
  4. Click the Journals container.
  5. Right-click the journal you want to add a remote journal to and select Properties.
  6. On the Journal Properties dialog, click Remote Journals.
  7. To add (associate) a remote journal to this journal, click Add.
  8. 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.
  9. Select the journal type (Type 1 or Type 2).
  10. To associate the remote journal receivers on the target system with a different schema from that used on the source system, select Redirect receiver.
  11. In the Target receiver schema field, specify the schema on the target system where the remote journal receivers are to be located.
  12. 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.
