Journaling for Db2 and IFS - Tom Huntington & Ash Giddings

From its humble beginning journaling local database changes to physical files on the System/38, IBM i journaling technology has evolved to include SQL tables, the integrated file system (IFS), and even remote journaling. In fact, many IT teams have been using IBM i journaling technology for audits, replication, problem determination, removal of bad updates, and high availability for years!

During this live webinar, the IBM i experts from HelpSystems help you get a better understanding of how journaling works. You’ll learn:

• How to start journaling of PF/SQL/IFS

• Why before and after images are important

• How to use remove journal changes

• What remote journaling is

You’ll also get a quick look at how we use journaling technology in our Robot HA replication software. Whether you’re new to journaling or have been running it for years, this session is worth your time.
