JournalSettings Stanza

Settings under this stanza are global and apply to the entire journal service.

The following is the syntax for the JournalSettings stanza:

Syntax for JournalSettings stanza:
[JournalSettings]
Syntax for stanza settings:
JournalSettings=value

You can specify the following JournalSettings values:

NlsRepos
Specifies the National Language Support repository the journal service uses for generating messages. Since the journal service is non-interactive this only applies to messages written to the journal error log. The default value is dscameng.txt. For example:
  NlsRepos=dscameng.txt  

ErrorLog
Specifies the log file where detailed error messages generated by the journal service are written. Note that less detailed error and informational messages are written to the Windows NT, 2000 application event log as well. The default value is jbberror.log. For example:
  ErrorLog=jbberror.log  

JournalDir
Specifies the directory where journal database files are written. The default directory is the journal service installation directory. You can specify different journal locations for each file system being journaled. This is useful when running in a clustered environment because the location of the journal must be accessible by each machine in the cluster running the journal service. Typically the journal for local resources being journaled will reside in the same location and the journal for shared cluster resources (which can move from machine to machine) will be located on the shared resource to ensure that it will be accessible to both machines.

Be default, this setting applies to all journaled file systems but can be overridden by an override stanza for each journal file system. If the default value is a fully qualified path (for example c:\tsmjournal), all journal database files will be written to the specified directory. If the default value does not specify a drive letter, (for example \tsmjournal) the journal database files for each journal file system will be written to the specified directory on each journal file system.

An example of specifying a directory for the journal database file is:

  JournalDir=c:\TsmJournalDb
