The import function and the graphical designer of InterForm400 requires journaling to be active for some files in the APF3812 library.
The journal is used for logging any changes to the important InterForm400 files in the APF3812 library. The journal is used as a safety net making it possible to roll back changes. Changes done via import or via the graphical designer can even be rolled back via the menu.
You can even use the journal to roll back changes, that have been done via the graphical designer or during an import as shown in the very bottom below and you can also roll back many other changes (e.g. restore a deleted AFC setup or a deleted overlay) as described in the section, Roll back changes in journal.
We recommend that you keep the default journal APFJRN in the InterForm400 library APF3812. If you wish to use an existing journal, type in the name and library of the journal via option 1. Start journaling files in InterForm library APF3812. If you do not want to use a journal leave these fields blank.
Normally you would need regularly to change the journal receiver, save the detached journal receiver and then delete the old journal receiver, but the entries in the journal is usually fairly limited and they are reset when doing an upgrade of InterForm400, so this is normally not needed.
For IBM i’s running with in a mirrored setup using e.g. Mimix or simular you might want to add journaling of all the files in the APF3812. Just remember to use IMAGES(*BOTH) when starting journaling. Refer to this section for special considerations when using a mirrored system.
Notice: In order to undo changes the journal receivers has to be on the system at the time of the undo.
