Enabling, disabling, and reading journals
Journal records are written to a log stream either directly from a user application
program, or from a CICS management program on behalf of a user application.
Journal records can be written from a user application using the EXEC CICS
WRITE JOURNALNAME command. For programming information about the EXEC
CICS WRITE JOURNALNAME command, see the
CICS Application Programming
Reference
manual.
This section describes the commands that you use for enabling and disabling
journals, and for reading journals offline.
Enabling and disabling a journal
To enable or disable a journal from an application program, use the EXEC CICS
SET JOURNALNAME command. For programming information about the EXEC
