Use this procedure to determine which data groups use a remote journal link before you end a remote journal link or remove a remote journaling environment.
-
Enter the command
WRKRJLNKand press Enter. -
Make a note of the name indicated in the Source Jrn Def column for the RJ Link you want.
-
From the command line, type
WRKDGDFNand press Enter. -
For all data groups listed on the Work with DG Definitions display, check the Journal Definition column for the name of the source journal definition you recorded in Step 2.
-
If you do not find the name from Step 2, the RJ link is not used by any data group. The RJ link can be safely ended or can have its remote journaling environment removed without affecting existing data groups.
-
If you find the name from Step 2 associated with any data groups, those data groups may be adversely affected if you end the RJ link. A request to remove the remote journaling environment removes configuration elements and system objects that need to be created again before the data group can be used. Continue with the next step.
