5.13 Queue Manager—Long Boot Times
OPERATOR.LOG. The long boot time is caused by the queue manager needing a
large space to accommodate the queue journal file.
The following example shows the error messages displayed in the operator.log:
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 2-MAR-2000 23:05:31.24 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user QUEUE_MANAGE on PNSFAB
%QMAN-E-OPENERR, error opening $1$DUA0:[SYS3.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]

You can shrink the size of the journal file by having a privileged user issue the
following DCL command:
$ MCR JBC$COMMAND DIAG 7
Executing this DCL command check points the queue journal file and shrinks the
file to the minimum size required for queue system operation.
Until this problem is fixed, use this workaround to shrink the size to a small file.
5.14 RMS Journaling
The following release notes pertain to RMS Journaling for OpenVMS.
5.14.1 Modified Journal File Creation
V7.2
Prior to Version 7.2, recovery unit (RU) journals were created temporarily in the
[SYSJNL] directory on the same volume as the file that was being journaled.
The file name for the recovery unit journal had the form RMS$process_id (where
process_id is the hexadecimal representation of the process ID) and a file type of
RMS$JOURNAL.
The following changes have been introduced to RU journal file creation in
OpenVMS Version 7.2:
• The files are created in node-specific subdirectories of the [SYSJNL] directory.
• The file name for the recovery unit journal has been shortened to the form:
YYYYYYYY, where YYYYYYYY is the hexadecimal representation of the
process ID in reverse order.
These changes reduce the directory overhead associated with journal file creation
and deletion.
The following example shows both the previous and current versions of journal
file creation:
