DB2 Using Journal Receiver/Journal Entry for starting point
Rather than use only a timestamp as a starting point, for DB2 (i Series/AS400), it would be very handy to be able to select a specific Journal Receiver/Journal Entry as a starting point. When we perform source machine role swaps, starting at a specific time is not the most efficient way to make the switch (it often results in backup data being replicated). Being able to start at a specific entry in the Journals. The general format that works for us is:
JOURNAL LIBRARY/JOURNAL RECEIVER
JOURNAL ENTRY
Sample:
@JRNLIB/RMRCV24059
234288829998
A further option to start at the First Journal Entry is a Journal Receiver rather than a specific numbered entry would also be advantageous, but not required.
