Create a Journal - Advanced

To edit the journal default values, you must first create the journal.

  1. Click Advanced on the New Journal in dialog.
  2. Select the journal message queue in the Journal message queue field. The default is the System Operator message queue. You can specify another message queue. However, if the message queue that you specify is not available when the message is sent, the message is sent to the System Operator message queue.
  3. Specify the schema where the journal message queue will reside.
  4. Edit or specify a description in the Description field (optional).
  5. Select a Receivers managed by option. Your choices are System or User.
  6. Select Minimize fixed portion of entries if you do not want to record the job, program and user profile information. This will minimize the size of each journal entry but limits the selection criteria that can be used on other journal commands.
  7. Select Remove internal entries if you want to automatically remove only the internal journal entries required for system restart recovery. Removing these entries reduces the size of the journal receiver.
  8. A new journal receiver is created at the same time as the journal. You can edit the default values of the receiver by click New Receiver.
  9. Once you have completed the Advanced options, click OK to return to the New Journal dialog.
  10. Click OK to create the journal.
