6.1.2 Journaling Callback Events Restriction
V7.1
If an application registers a callback routine for any of the journaling events,
it must register a callback routine for all the journaling callback events. The
following is a list of the journaling callback events:
BCK_EVENT_K_JOURNAL_OPEN
BCK_EVENT_K_JOURNAL_WRITE
BCK_EVENT_K_JOURNAL_CLOSE
This is a permanent restriction.
