Managing journals

This topic provides instructions for managing your journaling environment.

Managing your journaling environment requires these basic tasks:

• Keep records of which objects you are journaling.
• Evaluate the impact on journaling when new applications or logical files are added.
• Regularly detach, save, and delete journal receivers.

Your journal receivers enable you to recover changes to your important objects. They also provide an audit trail of activity that occurs on your system.

Protect your journal receivers by regularly detaching them and saving them; or you can have the system take over the job of changing journal receivers by specifying system journal-receiver management.
