The following qualifiers identify the journaling targets:

-F[ILE] 

Specify that the argument to the SET is a file-specification for a single database file. A Journal file's name can now include characters in Unicode.

Old journal files stay open for about 10 seconds after a switch to a new journal file.

-R[EGION] 

Specify that the argument to the SET is a list of one or more region-names, possibly including wildcards, which, through the mapping of the current Global Directory, identifies a set of database files. SET -REGION modifies multiple files when the parameter contains more than one name.

The -REGION qualifier is incompatible with the -FILE qualifier.

-J[NLFILE]

Specifies that the target for SET is a journal file. The format of the JNLFILE qualifier is:

-jnlfile jnl_file -[no]prevjnlfile=jnlfilename [-bypass]

jnl_file specifies the name of the target journal file.

-prevjnlfile=jnlfilename

Changes the name of the previous generation of the journal file in the header of jnl_file to jnlfilename (for example, when moving the previous generation journal file to a different location). The file name can be a full path-name or a relative path name; however, before the file-name is stored in the header, it is expanded to its full path-name.

-noprevjnlfile

Cuts the generation link of the journal file jnl_file.The name of the previous generation journal file is nullified in the header of jnl_file. Such an operation is appropriate when it is assured that there will never be a reason for a rollback to the previous generation journal file.

-bypass

Override the requirement that database files (or their corresponding journal files) affected by the set command be available standalone.

	Changing the previous generation file link when a rollback operation is in progress or when the Source Server is actively replicating, can damage the journal file and hamper recoverability.
