When an IFS, data area, or data queue object is restored, any pre-existing object is replaced by a save from the source system. With user journal replication, restores of IFS, data area, and data queue objects on the source system are supported through cooperative processing between MIMIX system journal and user journal replication processes.
Provided the object was journaled when it was saved, a restored IFS, data area, or data queue object is also journaled.
During cooperative processing, system journal replication processes generate an activity entry representing the T-OR (restore) journal entry from the system journal and perform a save and restore operation on the IFS, data area, or data queue object. Meanwhile, user journal replication processes handle the management of the corresponding IFS or object tracking entry. MIMIX may also start journaling, or end and restart journaling on the object so that the journaling characteristics of the IFS, data area, or data queue object match the data group definition.
