Create a journal receiver
A journal receiver is the file that contains the information that the journal is recording.

- Expand Databases.

- Click the Journals container.
- Right-click on the journal for which you want to add a receiver and select Properties.
- Click Receivers. The Receivers for Journal dialog appears.
- Click New. The New Journal Receiver dialog appears.

- Click OK to close the New Journal Receiver dialog.
- Click OK to close the Receivers for Journal dialog.
- Click OK to close the Journal Properties dialog.
Note: You can also create a new receiver when you create a new journal.

The New Journal Receiver dialog appears.
- Specify a name (limited to 10 characters), a schema to contain the receiver, a description and a storage space threshold.
