The /JOURNAL and /REPLICATION qualifiers are the only SET qualifiers relevant for journaling. For information on the other MUPIP SET qualifiers, refer to the "MUPIP" chapter.

/[NO]J[OURNAL][=journal-option-list]

Enables or disables journaling for the specified database file or region(s). When enabling the journaling capability, it also establishes characteristics for the journal file.

/NOJOURNAL specifies that the database does not allow journaling, or disables journaling for a database that currently has it enabled. It is equivalent to /JOURNAL=DISABLE. /NOJOURNAL does not accept an argument assignment. It does not create new journal files. When a database has been SET /NOJOURNAL, it appears to have no journaling file name or other characteristics.

/JOURNAL= enables journaling for a database file. /JOURNAL= takes one or more arguments in a journal-option-list. As long as journaling is ENABLED and turned ON at the end of the command, SET /JOURNAL= always creates a new version of the specified journal file(s). The journal-option-list contains keywords separated with commas (,) enclosed in parentheses ( ). When the list contains only one keyword, the parentheses ( ) are optional.

For details on the journal options refer to the SET JOURNAL Options section.

/REPLICATION=<replication-option>

/REPLICATION sets journal characteristics and changes the replication state simultaneously. It can also be used with the /JOURNAL qualifier. As long as journaling is ENABLED and turned ON at the end of the command SET /REPLICATION always creates a new version of the specified journal file(s).
