Stop Journaling
Stopping journaling system wide has a number of undesirable consequences, as described in Journal Freeze on Error Setting is No.
When you stop journaling, transaction processing ceases. If a transaction is in progress when you stop journaling, the complete transaction may not be entered in the journal. To avoid this problem, it is best to make sure all users are off the system before stopping journaling.
If you stop journaling and InterSystems IRIS crashes, the startup recovery process does not roll back incomplete transactions started before journaling stopped since the transaction may have been committed but not journaled.
In contrast, transactions are not affected in any adverse way by switching journal files. Rollback correctly handles transactions spanning multiple journal files created by journal switching; so, if possible, it is better to switch journal files than to stop journaling.
You can stop journaling using the ^JRNSTOP routine or by selecting option 2, Stop Journaling, from the ^JOURNAL routine menu. See Stop Journaling Using ^JRNSTOP for details.
Note:
You cannot stop journaling from the Management Portal.
When you stop journaling, InterSystems IRIS audits the change if auditing is enabled.
