Write Image Journal (WIJ) Settings

Write Image Journal (WIJ) Settings

By default, the WIJ file is named IRIS.WIJ and resides in the system manager directory, install-dir/mgr, where install-dir is the installation directory. You may specify a different location for this file, as well as a target file size, from the Journal Settings page of the Management Portal. To do so:

  1. Navigate to the Journal Settings page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > System Configuration > Journal Settings).

  2. Enter the new location of the WIJ in the Write image journal directory box and click Save. The name must identify an existing directory on the system and may be up to 63 characters long. If you edit this setting for a clustered instance, restart InterSystems IRIS to apply the change; no restart is necessary for a standalone instance.

  3. Enter the target size for the WIJ at the Target size for the wij (MB) (0=not set) prompt. The default of zero allows the WIJ to grow as needed but does not reserve space for this; entering a non-zero value reserves the specified space on the storage device.

For information about the two settings described, which are included in the instance’s iris.cpf file, see targwijsz and wijdir in the [config] section of the Configuration Parameter File Reference.
