Journals swap if a JOURNAL SWAP command is issued or if the journal in use runs out of space.
Each time a journal is swapped, the journal control NCL procedure is started to assist the automation of forward recovery. The SYSPARMS JRNLPROC command can be used to specify the procedure name (the default is $NDJPROC).
If the system terminates abnormally, submit the NDB forward recovery job manually (or from an alternate automation process), as the other journal is used after the restart, and a swap effectively occurs.
Forward recovery must be performed before a journal swap occurs after the system restart.
We recommend that you apply journals to the NDB backups as soon as they are swapped.
