Appendix D. Journal Service Configuration

You must specify Journal service configuration settings in the journal configuration file tsmjbbd.ini. This file can be installed and configured with the GUI setup wizard or edited manually. The tsmjbbd.ini file is a Windows style stanza based .ini file and should always reside in the same directory as the journal service executable module (tsmjbbd.exe).

Configuration settings that you apply when the journal service is started and any changes you make while the journal service is running are applied without having to restart the service.

File systems can be brought online (added) or offline (removed) without stopping and restarting the journal service. The journal exclude list can also be updated without recycling the journal service. Individual journaled file system settings can be applied to existing journaled file systems by recycling the file system (bringing it offline and then back online).

The following is the syntax for stanza and stanza settings:

Syntax for stanzas:
[StanzaName]
Syntax for stanza settings:
stanzaSetting=value

Stanza and value names are not case sensitive.

Numeric values may be specified in hexadecimal by preceding the value with 0x otherwise they are interpreted as decimal.

There is no correlation between these settings and any settings in the backup-archive client options file. The journal service is a completely independent process and does not process backup-archive client options.
