Display Journal (DSPJRN)

Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No 		Parameters

Error messages

The Display Journal (DSPJRN) command allows you to convert journal entries (contained in one or more receivers) into a form suitable for external representation. Output of the command can be displayed or printed with the job's spooled printer output or directed to a database output file. If the database output file exists, records may either replace or be added to the current data in the indicated file member. The system creates the specified database file and member if they do not exist. Database files created by the system have a standard format. A warning message is sent and the records are truncated if any of the entries are longer than the specified maximum record length of the output files.

The contents of selected entries in the journal receivers may be converted for output. It is also possible to selectively limit the entries that are displayed. If no journal entries satisfy the selection or limitation criteria, an escape message is sent indicating that fact.

Gaps may exist in the sequence numbers of the entries converted. These occur because some of the journal entries represent internal system information. These internal entries can be shown by specifying INCHIDENT(*YES).

It is possible to show journal entries whose journal sequence numbers are reset in the chain of receivers being specified.

Journaled physical file (FILE)

Specifies a maximum of 300 qualified file names whose journal entries are converted for output. This parameter also specifies the name of the file member whose journal entries are to be converted for output.

Either the FILE parameter may be specified, or one or more of the object parameters (OBJ, OBJPATH, or OBJFID) may be specified, but not both.

To determine which journal entries are to be converted for output, based on the specified file member name, the following is done:

Notes:

  1. The journal identifier is the unique identifier associated with the object when journaling is started for that object. The journal identifier stays constant, even if the object is renamed, moved or restored. See the Journal Management information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter for more information.

  2. When specifying a database file on this parameter, journal entries with the following journal code values are converted for output only if they satisfy the values specified on the other parameters:

    • Journal code D (database file-level information entries).

    • Journal code F (file member-level information entries).

    • Journal code R (record-level information entries).

    • Journal code U (user-generated entries).

    • Other journal codes, if *IGNFILSLT is the second element of the journal code. If *ALLSLT is the second element of the journal code, no journal entries with that code are converted for output.

Single values

Journal entries for the database file and all the currently existing members in the file are converted for output.

*NONE

Only entries for the database file are converted for output. Entries for members of the file are not converted for output.

name

Specify the name of the file member whose entries are being converted for output. If the specified physical file does not exist on the system, specify either *ALL or a specific file member name.

If *ALL is specified for the file-name element, this member name is used for all applicable files in the library. For example, if library-name/*ALL *FIRST is specified on the FILE parameter, the journal entries of the first members of all applicable files in the specified library are converted for output.

Top

Objects (OBJPATH)

Specifies a maximum of 300 objects whose journal entries are converted for output. Only objects whose path name identifies an object of type *STMF, *DIR or *SYMLNK that are in the "root" ('/'), QOpenSys, and user-defined file systems are supported. All other objects are ignored.

This parameter is not valid for remote journals.

Either the FILE parameter may be specified, or one or more of the object parameters (OBJ, OBJPATH, or OBJFID) may be specified, but not both.

Only objects that are currently linked with the specified path name and have a journal identifier associated with them are used in journal entry selection. If the specified object does exist, the journal identifier associated with that link is used for journal entry selection. If a specified object does not exist or does not have a journal identifier associated with it, that link is not used in selecting journal entries and no error is sent.

Notes:

  1. The journal identifier is the unique identifier associated with the object when journaling is started for that object. The journal identifier stays constant, even if the object is renamed, moved or restored. See the Journal Management information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter for more information.

  2. When specifying an object on this parameter, journal entries with the following journal code values are converted for output only if they satisfy the values specified on the other parameters in addition to the object name specification:

    • Journal code B (integrated file system information entries).

    • Journal code U (user-generated entries).

    • Other journal codes, if *IGNOBJSLT is the second element of the journal code. If *ALLSLT is the second element of the journal code, no journal entries with that code are converted for output.

Element 1: Name

path-name

Entries for objects identified by the path name are converted for output.

A pattern can be specified in the last part of the path name. An asterisk (*) matches any number of characters and a question mark (?) matches a single character. If the path name is qualified or contains a pattern, it must be enclosed in apostrophes. Symbolic links within the path name will not be followed. If the path name begins with the tilde character, then the path is assumed to be relative to the appropriate home directory.

Additional information about path name patterns is in the Integrated file system information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.

Element 2: Include or omit

The second element specifies whether names that match the path name should be included or omitted from the operation. Note that in determining whether a name matches a pattern, relative name patterns are always treated as relative to the current working directory.

The SUBTREE parameter specifies whether the subtrees are included or omitted.

*INCLUDE

The objects that match the object name pattern are to be included in determining what journal entries are converted for output, unless overridden by an *OMIT specification.

*OMIT

The objects that match the object name pattern are not to be included in determining what journal entries are converted for output. This overrides an *INCLUDE specification and is intended to be used to omit a subset of a previously selected pattern.

Either the FILE parameter may be specified, or one or more of the object parameters (OBJ, OBJPATH, or OBJFID) may be specified, but not both.

To determine which journal entries are to be converted for output, based on the specified file identifier, the following is done:

Notes:

  1. The journal identifier is the unique identifier associated with the object when journaling is started for that object. The journal identifier stays constant, even if the object is renamed, moved or restored. See the Journal Management information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter for more information.

  2. When specifying an object on this parameter, journal entries with the following journal code values are converted for output only if they satisfy the values specified on the other parameters in addition to the object name specification:

    • Journal code B (integrated file system information entries).

    • Journal code U (user-generated entries).

    • Other journal codes, if *IGNOBJSLT is the second element of the journal code. If *ALLSLT is the second element of the journal code, no journal entries with that code are converted for output.

*ALL

All objects that meet the selection criteria are processed in addition to the entire subtree of each directory that matches the selection criteria. The subtree includes all sub-directories and the objects within those sub-directories.

Top

 

Name pattern (PATTERN)

Specifies a maximum of 20 patterns to be used to include or omit objects for which journal entries are converted for output.

Only the last part of the path name will be considered for the name pattern match. Path name delimiters are not allowed in the name pattern. An asterisk (*) matches any number of characters and a question mark (?) matches a single character. If the path name is qualified or contains a pattern, it must be enclosed in apostrophes.

If the Name Pattern parameter is not specified the default will be to match all patterns.

This parameter is only valid if one or more path names were specified on the OBJPATH parameter.

Element 1: Pattern

'*'

All objects that match the input OBJPATH parameter are to be included.

name-pattern

Specify the pattern to be used to include or omit objects for which journal entries are converted for output. Only the last part of the path name will be considered for the name pattern match. Path name delimiters are not allowed in the name pattern.

If the Name Pattern parameter is not specified the default will be to match all patterns.

Additional information about path name patterns is in the Integrated file system information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter.

Element 2: Include or omit

The second element specifies whether names that match the pattern should be included or omitted from the operation. Note that in determining whether a name matches a pattern, relative name patterns are always treated as relative to the current working directory.

The SUBTREE parameter specifies whether directory subtrees are included or omitted.

*INCLUDE

The objects that match the object name pattern are included in the operation, unless overridden by an *OMIT specification.

*OMIT

The objects that match the object name pattern are not to be included in the operation. This overrides an *INCLUDE specification and is intended to be used to omit a subset of a previously selected pattern.

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is shown at the requesting work station, printed with the job's spooled printer output, or sent to the database file specified on the File to receive output (OUTFILE) parameter.

When the output of the command is directed to the requesting work station, basic information on the journal entries is shown. From the basic display, an option can be selected to show information in detail for any journal entry being shown.

If the output is printed with the job's spooled printer output, all of the information that would be shown is printed. File QPDSPJRN in QSYS is used for printed output.

*

The output is shown (if requested by an interactive job) or printed with the job's spooled output (if requested by a batch job).

*PRINT

The output is printed with the job's spooled output.

*OUTFILE

The output is directed to the database file specified for the File to receive output (OUTFILE) parameter.

Include hidden entries (INCHIDENT)

Specifies whether hidden journal entries should be returned. Hidden entries are generated and used by the system. When hidden entries are returned, it will be possible to display all journal entries such that no sequence numbers will be unaccounted for.

*NO

Hidden journal entries are not converted for output.

*YES

Hidden journal entries are converted for output.

Outfile format (OUTFILFMT)

Specifies the format of the journal entries written to the output file specified on the File to receive output (OUTFILE) parameter. This parameter can be specified only if the value *OUTFILE is specified on the OUTPUT parameter.

If the Receiver size options field (RCVSIZOPT) for the journal was specified as *MAXOPT3, the sequence number, commit cycle identifier, the count of entries applied or removed or relative record number fields can reach a maximum value of 18,446,744,073,709,551,600. The length of these fields in the *TYPE1, *TYPE2, *TYPE3, and *TYPE4 formats is defined to hold a 10 digit number. Only the *TYPE5 format has fields large enough to hold this maximum value. During the building of the output file for the *TYPE1, *TYPE2, *TYPE3, or *TYPE4 formats, if a sequence number or commit cycle identifier larger than 10 digits is found, the field is set to -1 for that record. At the conclusion of writing the output file, an informational message (CPI7013) will be issued to the joblog as an alert that the output file contains incomplete information in those particular fields.

*TYPE1

The converted entries are formatted to include the minimum information that can be specified. The information fields and the format of the information in each journal entry is shown in the following table:

File to receive output (OUTFILE)

Specifies the name and library of the database file to which the output of the command is directed. If the output file already exists, the system attempts to use it. Records may replace or be added to the current data in the file member. If no records are written to the database file (because of the specified selection values), and *REPLACE is specified on the OUTMBR parameter, records are cleared from the existing database file. If the file does not exist, this command creates a database file in the specified library.

Qualifier 1: File to receive output

file-name

Specify the name of the file.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, QGPL is used.

library-name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Top

 

Member to receive output (OUTMBR)

Specifies the name of the database file member that receives the output of the command.

Element 1: Member to receive output

*FIRST

The first member in the file receives the output. If OUTMBR(*FIRST) is specified and the member does not exist, the system creates a member with the name of the file specified for the File to receive output (OUTFILE) parameter. If the member already exists, you have the option to add new records to the end of the existing member or clear the member and then add the new records.

name

Specify the name of the file member that receives the output. If it does not exist, the system creates it.

Element 2: Replace or add records

*REPLACE

The system clears the existing member and adds the new records.

*ADD

The system adds the new records to the end of the existing records.

Top

 

Entry data length (ENTDTALEN)

Specifies the maximum field length of the entry specific data portion of the journal entry when the output file is created by the system. This field contains part of the variable portion of the journal entries (such as the after-image of records for update journal entries). If the output file exists, this parameter is ignored.

For this parameter, a single value or a single list of three elements can be specified.

This parameter is valid only if OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) is specified.

Single values

*OUTFILFMT

The field length of the entry specific data field in the output file is determined by the value specified on the Outfile format (OUTFILFMT) parameter. The attributes of this field are the same as those of the entry specific data field in the corresponding model output file supplied by the system.

If *TYPE1 or *TYPE2 is specified on the Outfile format (OUTFILFMT) parameter, the entry specific data field in the output database file is a fixed-length field 100 characters long.

If *TYPE1 and *TYPE2 are not specified on Outfile format (OUTFILFMT) parameter, the entry specific data field in the output file is a variable length field with a maximum field length of 100 characters and an allocated length of 100 characters. The buffer is 2 bytes longer than the maximum field length to include the length portion of the variable length field.

*CALC

The system calculates the length of the entry specific data field to accommodate the longest entry specific data among all journal entries in the specified receiver range. The entry specific data field is a fixed-length character field. The minimum length of the field is 130 characters. If the length calculated by the system causes the record format length to exceed the maximum record length, a message is sent and the entry-specific data field is truncated.

If the length calculated by the system causes the record format length to exceed 32766 bytes, a diagnostic message is signaled and the entry specific data field is truncated. If *TYPE1 and *TYPE2 are not specified on the Outfile format (OUTFILFMT) parameter, and the null value indicator field is a variable length field, the record format length cannot exceed 32740 bytes.

Element 1: Field data format

*VARLEN

The entry specific data field is a variable length field. This value can be specified only when OUTFILFMT(*TYPE1) and OUTFILFMT(*TYPE2) are not specified. If you specify this value, you can specify a value for the maximum field length and the allocated length of the entry specific data field.

field-length

Specify a field length of the entry specific data portion of the output file. If *TYPE1 is specified on the Outfile format (OUTFILFMT) parameter, valid values range from 1 through 32641. If *TYPE2 is specified on the OUTFILFMT parameter, valid values range from 1 through 32611. If *TYPE3 or *TYPE4 is specified on the OUTFILFMT parameter and the null values indicator field is a fixed-length field, valid values range from 1 through 32596. If *TYPE5 is specified on the OUTFILFMT parameter and the null values indicator field is a fixed-length field, valid values range from 1 through 32210. If *TYPE3 or *TYPE4 is specified and the null value indicators field is a variable length field, valid values range from 1 through 32570. If *TYPE5 is specified and the null value indicators field is a variable length field, valid values range from 1 through 32184.

The sum of the values specified on the Entry data length (ENTDTALEN) parameter and the Null value indicators length (NULLINDLEN) parameter cannot exceed the maximum record length for a database file (32740 for a file with variable length fields and 32766 for a file with fixed-length fields).

Element 2: Variable length field length

*CALC

The system calculates the maximum length of the entry specific data field to accommodate the longest entry specific data of all journal entries in the specified receiver range. The minimum length of this field is 130 bytes. The corresponding buffer length is 132 bytes: 130 bytes of data and 2 bytes for the length portion of the variable length field.

field-length

Specify the number of characters for the maximum field length. If the null value indicators field is a fixed-length field, valid values range from 1 to 32570. If the null value indicators field is a variable length field, valid values range from 1 to 32185.

Element 3: Allocated length

*FLDLEN

The allocated length is the same as the maximum length of the field.

allocated-length

Specify the allocated length. If *CALC is specified for the maximum field length and the maximum field length calculated by the system is smaller than the allocated length you specify, the allocated length is set to the maximum field length. If a particular maximum field length is specified, the allocated length cannot exceed the maximum field length.

The following table lists the range of values for the ENTDTALEN parameter:

Null value indicators length (NULLINDLEN)

Specifies the length of the null value indicators field when the output file is created by the system. This parameter can be specified only if OUTFILFMT(*TYPE1) and OUTFILFMT(*TYPE2) are not specified.

Null value indicators are present in journal entries for record level operations as follows:

  1. The corresponding physical file has null capable fields.

  2. The record image has been minimized in the entry specific data.

If the record image has not been minimized in the entry specific data, then there is one null value indicator per field in the physical file. Each indicator is one character long and can be either:

If the record image has been minimized on file field boundaries in the entry specific data, then there is one null value indicator per field in the physical file. Each indicator is one character long and can be either:

Single values

*OUTFILFMT

The null value indicators field has the same attributes as the corresponding field in the system-supplied model output file QADSPJR3, QADSPJR4 or QADSPJR5. It is a variable length character field with a maximum length and an allocated length of 50 characters each. The buffer is 2 bytes longer than the maximum field length to include the length portion of the variable length field.

*CALC

The system calculates the length of the field to accommodate the journal entry with the maximum number of null value indicators in the specified receiver range. In this case, the null value indicators field is a fixed-length character field. The minimum length of this field is 1 character to ensure that the field exists when the output file is created. If the length calculated by the system causes the record format length to exceed 32766, a diagnostic message is sent and the null value indicators field is truncated. If the entry specific data field is a variable length field, the record format length cannot exceed 32740 bytes.

Element 1: Field data format

*VARLEN

To specify a variable-length field, specify *VARLEN for the first element and length values for the last two elements (or let the system use the default values). The null value indicators field is a variable length field. If you specify this value, you can specify a value for the maximum length and the allocated length of the field.

field-length

Specify the field length. Valid values range from 1 through 8000 characters. A nonzero value is required by the system to ensure that the field exists when the output file is created. In this case, the null value indicators field is a fixed-length field.

Element 2: Variable length field length

*CALC

The system calculates the length of the null value indicators field to accommodate the journal entry with the maximum number of null value indicators in the specified receiver range. To ensure that the field exists in the output file that is created, the minimum length of the field is 1 byte. The corresponding buffer length is 3 bytes: 1 byte of data and 2 bytes for the length portion of the variable length field.

field-length

Specify the maximum field length. Valid values range from 1 to 8000 characters.

Element 3: Allocated length

*FLDLEN

The allocated length is the same as the maximum field length.

allocated-length

Specify the allocated length. Valid values range from 1 to 8000 characters. If *CALC is specified for the maximum field length and the maximum length calculated by the system is smaller than the allocated length you specify, the allocated length is set to the maximum field length. If the maximum field length is specified, the allocated length cannot exceed the maximum field length.

Include entries (INCENT)

Specifies whether only the confirmed, or both the confirmed and unconfirmed, journal entries are converted for output. This parameter only applies when converting journal entries for output from a remote journal.

Confirmed entries are those journal entries which have been sent to this remote journal and the state of the Input/Output (I/O) to auxiliary storage for the same journal entries on the local journal is known.

Unconfirmed entries are those journal entries which have been sent to this remote journal, but the state of the Input/Output (I/O) to auxiliary storage for the same journal entries on the local journal is not known, or the object name information for those journal entries is not yet known to the remote journal. Unconfirmed journal entries can only exist within the attached receiver of a remote journal. This only applies if synchronous delivery mode is being used for a particular remote journal.

*CONFIRMED

Only those journal entries which have been confirmed are converted for output.

*ALL

All confirmed and unconfirmed journal entries are converted for output.

Examples

Example 1: Converting Journal Entries for Display 

 DSPJRN   JRN(MYLIB/JRNLA)

When issued at a work station, this command converts and shows the first journal entries in the journal receiver currently attached (when the converting of journal entries is started) to the journal JRNLA in library MYLIB. Subsequent entries are shown by pressing the Page Down key. When entered from a batch job, the above command prints all converted journal entries with the job's spooled printer output. The entry-specific data portion of the journal entries are shown in character format.

Example 2: Converting Journal Entries to an Output File 

 DSPJRN   JRN(MYLIB/JRNLA)
         FILE((LIB1/A MBR3) (LIB1/C) (LIB2/*ALL *ALL))
         RCVRNG((RCVLIB/RCV27 RCVLIB/RCV30))
         FROMENT(4736)  ENTTYP(UP DL)
         JOB(000666/QPGMR/WORKST01)
         PGM(TSTPGMA)  ENTDTALEN(280)
         OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)  OUTFILE(MYLIB/JRNENTFIL1)

This command converts selected journal entries in the journal receiver chain (from receiver RCV27 in library RCVLIB to receiver RCV30 in library RCVLIB) that is associated with JRNLA in library MYLIB and places them in the first member of the database file JRNENTFIL1 in library MYLIB. If the database file does not exist, it is created with a format of QJORDJE. The last field in the format is 280 bytes in length. The journal entry that has a sequence number of 4736 is the first entry written to the output file. Only entries for record updates and deletes made by program TSTPGMA in the job 000666/QPGMR/WORKST01 to member MBR3 of file A in library LIB1, the first member of file C in library LIB1, and all members of all files in library LIB2 are written to the output file.

Example 3: Converting Journal Entries for a Specific User Profile 

 DSPJRN   JRN(SS/J)  FILE(SS1/PF)  RCVRNG((SS/R1  *CURRENT))
         JRNCDE(F)  USRPRF(MAC7)
         OUTFILE(FMTLIB/ENTFILE)  OUTFILFMT(*TYPE2)

This command converts selected journal entries in the journal receiver range. The range begins with journal receiver R1 in library SS and ends with the journal receiver currently attached (when the converting of journal entries is started) to journal J in library SS. The entries are placed in the first member of the database file ENTFILE in library FMTLIB. If the file does not exist, it is created with the QJORDJE2 format. The last field of the format is 100 bytes in length. Only entries made by the user MAC7 to the first member of file PF in library SS1 are written to the output file.

Example 4: Converting Journal Entries with Null Value Field Length Specified 

 DSPJRN   JRN(LIBPROD/PRODJRN)  FILE(APPLIB/PFILE)
         OUTFILFMT(*TYPE5)  OUTFILE(JRNLIB/ENTFILE)
         ENTDTALEN(*VARLEN 500 100)  NULLINDLEN(25)

This command converts selected journal entries from the journal receiver currently attached (when the converting of entries is started) to the journal PRODJRN in library LIBPROD. The entries are placed in the first member of the database file ENTFILE in library JRNLIB. If the file does not exist, it is created with the QJORDJE5 format. The entry-specific data field is a variable-length field with a maximum field length of 500 characters and an allocated length of 100 characters. The null value indicators field is a fixed-length field of 25 characters. Only entries for the file PFILE in library APPLIB and for the first member of the file are written to the output file.

Example 5: Converting Journal Entries with Null Value Field Length Calculated 

 DSPJRN   JRN(JRNLIB/JRNA)  FILE(FILLIB/FILEA)
         ENTTYP(UP DL)  OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
         OUTFILFMT(*TYPE5)  OUTFILE(ENTLIB/ENTFILE)
         ENTDTALEN(*CALC)  NULLINDLEN(*VARLEN *CALC *FLDLEN)

This command converts only the record update (UP) and record delete (DL) journal entries for the first member of file PFILEA in library FILLIB from the journal receiver currently attached (when the converting of entries is started) to the journal JRNA in library JRNLIB. The entries are written to the first member of database file ENTFILE in library ENTLIB. If the file does not exist, it is created with the QJORDJE5 format. The system calculates the length of the fixed-length, entry-specific data field. The system also calculates the length of the variable-length null value indicators field. The allocated length of this field is the same as the maximum field length.

Example 6: Converting Journal Entries Using *IGNFILSLT and *CURCHAIN 

 DSPJRN   JRN(JRNLIB/JRNA)  FILE(FILLIB/FILEA)
         RCVRNG(*CURCHAIN)
         JRNCDE((F *ALLSLT) (R *ALLSLT) (U *IGNFILSLT))
         OUTPUT(*PRINT)

This command converts journal entries with:

Journal entries are converted from the chain of journal receivers, which are the journal receivers in the range from the latest chain break through the journal receiver currently attached when the converting of entries is started, associated with the journal JRNA in library JRNLIB. The converted entries are written to a print file.

Example 7: Converting Journal Entries for Data Area, Data Queue, and Integrated File System Objects 

 DSPJRN   JRN(LIBPROD/PRODJRN)
         OBJ((APPLIB/D1 *DTAARA) (APPLIB/D2 *DTAQ)
         (APPLIB/D3 *FILE *NONE))
         OBJPATH(('/mydirectory')) SUBTREE(*YES)
         OUTFILFMT(*TYPE5)  OUTFILE(JRNLIB/ENTFILE)

This command converts selected journal entries from the journal receiver currently attached (when the converting of entries is started) to the journal PRODJRN in library LIBPROD. The entries are placed in the first member of the database file ENTFILE in library JRNLIB. If the file does not exist, it is created with the QJORDJE5 format. Only entries associated with the specified objects are converted. These objects are a data area in library APPLIB called D1, a data queue in library APPLIB called D2, and a database file D3 in library APPLIB, as well as the directory '/mydirectory' and all directories, stream files, and symbolic links within that directory or one of its subdirectories.
