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 WRKRJLNK and 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 WRKDGDFN and 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.

Note: If you allow applications other than MIMIX to use the RJ link, they will be affected if you end the RJ link or remove the remote journaling environment.- When *YES appears in the Use RJ Link column, the data group may be affected by a request to end the RJ link. If you use the procedure for ending a remote journal link independently in topic Ending a remote journal link independently in Assure MIMIX Operations book, ensure that any data groups that use the RJ link are inactive before ending the RJ link.
