On the STRDG command, you can optionally specify the point at which to start replication in the journal receivers. The parameters for database and object journal receivers and sequence numbers provide this capability. You may need to use these parameters when starting data groups for the first time.
For user journal replication, the IBM i remote journal function controls where processing starts in the source journal receiver. The values specified for the Database journal receiver (DBJRNRCV) and Database large sequence number (DBSEQNBR2) identify the starting location for the database reader process and the database apply process.
For system journal replication, the value specified for Object journal receiver (OBJJRNRCV) and Object large sequence number (OBJSEQNBR2) identify the starting location for the object send process and the object apply process.
