Hi,

So I guess moving the files to a temporary library and moving them back will start the journalling for them ?

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

Total agreement. I would suggest sending in a reader comment form on the article making just such a suggestion.

I think it would have been helpful if that statement was followed with a clarification that “If the file/object currently exists in the library at the time QDFTJRN is created , no journal action is taken.” Just a thought.

From the Information Center article Automatically starting journaling: Using a data area named QDFTJRN, you can automatically start journaling when a non-integrated file system object (data area, data queue, or file) is created, moved, or restored into the library...

The fact that the library already had files in it was not part of the discussion. When I add NEW files everything appears to work just like your example. What a dumb *ss to think it would work with existing files. I’m now pretty sure that the only way to get it to work for all existing files is to back it up and restore it after creating the QDFTJRN.
