Swap receivers

Swapping journal receivers replaces the current journal receiver with a new journal receiver that is automatically created and attached to the journal by the system.

When to swap:

There are two methods that you can use to swap receivers for journaling. The first does not allow you to change the attributes of the new receiver; the second does.

  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 use and select Swap Receivers. The system generates a new name when it creates the receiver.
