Tracking entries are associated with the replication of IFS objects, data areas, and data queues with advanced journaling techniques. A tracking entry must exist for each existing IFS object, data area, or data queue identified for replication.
IFS tracking entries identify existing IFS stream files on the source system that have been identified as eligible for replication with advanced journaling by the collection of data group IFS entries defined to a data group. Similarly, object tracking entries identify existing data areas and data queues on the source system that have been identified as eligible for replication using advanced journaling by the collection of data group object entries defined to a data group.
When you initially configure a data group, you must load tracking entries and start journaling for the objects which they identify. Similarly, if you add new or change existing data group IFS entries or object entries, tracking entries for any additional IFS objects, data areas, or data queues must be loaded and journaling must be started on the objects which they identify.
