Backup of Journalreceivers

Thru a CL program at set key times of the day
(so can achieve point in time recovery 12noon; 4pm; 8pm)

a. Display the journal to spool - WRKJRNA to *print
b. Copy the spool file to a physical file - CPYSPLF to *PF
c. Read thru the *PF to find a record containing a receiver name - RCVF
d. If found a receiver name record save it to tape - SAVOBJ
e. If receiver had been saved on a previous run delete it this time since it is
now on 2 different tape media (if status *SAVED going into this job) - DLTJRNRCV
f. read next record (step c.) above

Hi all

another poll to the group:

I wonder, how you out there do manage the backup/archive of your JRNRCVs?
How much traffic do you have on your journal?
How often and in which way do you backup your receivers?

The background of my questions:

Once we used BRMS function "Archive" to handle the daily backup of our R/3
JRNRCVs. But it happened sometimes that our PRD system came to a complete
hold because of the Archive job locked the entire PRD journal, so the
current RCV couldn't get changed when it reached its threshold. Msg CPI70E5
"Journal or Journalreceiver not available" was issued.

An additional reason for that conflict was the fact, that the rate of RCV
changes on our system is at some times of day very high (less than 5 min.),
so when the Backup Job runs for about 10-15 minutes, the current receiver is
guaranteed to crash against the wall...

Finally we set a manual procedure which is still in use today:

WRKJRNA to check, what JRNRCVs are in status ONLINE
SBMJOB with command SAVOBJBRM where the known receiver numbers are entered.
This way we make sure, that all the receivers which will be attached during
the backup will not get locked
Last step: Delete all saved receivers also manually.

But this manual input is risky (the human IT-component...) and sure enough -
this week we had another PRD stop, because of accidentially saving the wrong
receiver-number. Now we think of an alternative, fully or partly automatted.

Any insight will help, thanks a lot in advance.
