RMS Journaling Details?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Hello,
 
Is there a possibility to get the RMS journaling information
(RU_JOURNALING active or inactive) from a system service ?
 
Using a VAX, there is SYS$OPEN with the FAB$B_JOURNALING
field. Do I get that information from the $FH2DEF fields
in the file header ?
 
Thanks a lot, Bernd Onasch

The Answer is :

 
  The usual approach involves the use of the RMS services sys$open and
  sys$display, and the XABJNL, XABRU, and XAMITM blocks -- RMS journaling
  is part of the RMS environment and the interface is largely implemented
  with RMS services.
 
  If you wish to use the XQP or other interfaces, you will need to become
  familiar with the ATR structure and specically with attributes such as
  ATR$C_JOURNAL.  Information on the format of the RMS journaling access
  control list entries (ACEs) is included in the VMS File System Internals
  manual, Kirby McCoy, Digital Press.
