$ZUTIL(69,10)$ZUTIL(69,10)Sets system behavior when journal is full.$ZUTIL(69,10,n)$ZU(69,10,n)ParametersnThe boolean value that specifies which system behavior applies when a journal isfull.Description$ZUTIL(69,10) determines Caché behavior when an error occurs in writing to the journal.• If this option is set to “true” (1), as soon as the error occurs all global activities that arenormally journaled are blocked, which causes other jobs to block. The typical outcomeis that Caché goes into a hang state until the journaling problem is resolved, and thenresumes running. While Caché is hanging, the administrator can take corrective measures,such as freeing up space on a disk that is full, switching the journal to a new disk, etc.This option has the advantage that once the problem is fixed and Caché resumes running,no journal information has been lost. It has the disadvantage that the system is lessavailable while the problem is being solved.• If this option is set to “false” (0), when a journaling error occurs journaling is entirelydisabled, while Caché continues running as normal. Caché sends a console message toalert the administrator, who can fix the problem and then run ^JRNSWTCH at the consoleto restart journaling.The default is zero (0). The native default for this switch is “false” (0); that is, to suspendjournaling and allow Caché processing to continue.Invoking $ZUTIL(69,10) without specifying n returns the current switch setting.This system-wide default can be configured. Go to the System Management Portal, selectSystem Configuration, select Advanced Settings, on the pull-down Category list select Journal.View and edit the current setting of FreezeOnError.Setting $ZUTIL(69,10) changes the system configuration setting shown in the SystemManagement Portal; this change persists across a Caché shutdown and restart.You can use $ZUTIL(78,22) to return journaling information.Caché ObjectScript Reference 647
