RMS_JRNL_SNAP, UTILITIES, RMS After-Image Journal Snapshot Utility The RMS_JOURNAL_SNAP utility allows RMS after-image journal files to be copied and truncated in place with concurrent online access. This utility allows non-stop application operation where it might otherwise be unavailable due to having to create new RMS after-image journal files on a periodic basis. When using RMS after-image journaling, it is necessary to disconnect all accessories from any journaled file in order to create a new journal stream file. This operation may be periodically required as the after-image journal file grows. For some operations, the downtime required to create a new after-image journal file prevents non-stop (24x7) operations that might otherwise be desired. The RMS_JOURNAL_SNAP utility can be used to snapshot (copy and rewind; spool) an RMS after-image journal file of a single file. Snapshots of a journal file that is used to journal changes in multiple files is not supported by the RMS_JOURNAL_SNAP utility. The journal file can be copied and truncated while it is open and being actively accessed. The RMS_JOURNAL_SNAP utility is intended to allow nonstop access to RMS files that have after-image journaling enabled.
