Cleanup of OW Journal files on Server

[Pieter Kuperus]

Hi guys,
We are running out of diskspace on our Development Server. I found the OWJRNL library that contains a file of over 33GB of data. Is there a way of cleaning this file of old data to free up some disk space?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

What are your system details?

There are some settings on the AS/400 that will clean up journal receivers automatically based on certain criteria. I don't have a 400 in front of me right now so I cant's say for sure what they are.

I think the command is:

CHGJRN JRN(OWJRNL/OW_JRNL) DLTRCV(*YES)

However, only Only attached receivers allowed in receiver directory. You'll get
a CPF70E3 if non attached receivers are in the direcory. You must delete them
first.

Message ID . . . . . . : CPF70E3
Message . . . . : Only attached receivers allowed in receiver directory
Cause . . . . . : The journal receiver directory must only have attached
receivers in it when DLTRCV(*YES) is specified.
Recovery . . . : Use the Work with Journal Attributes (WRKJRNA) command and
then press the function key to work with the receiver directory. Select the
delete option for all receivers not currently attached to the journal.

Colin, I was trying this on our test system and we have a journal receiver called OWJRNRCV with a status of Partial and a small size of 151552. All the rest are named OWJRNRnnnn where nnnn is a number with status of Saved or Attached (the greatest numbered one).

Do you have OWJRNRVC in your library? I need to blow this one away to get the Delete Receivers option to take.
