Journal Offload Utility
The Journal Offload utility allows you to offload one or both of the journals on a given
host without backing up the control data set. It is extremely important that you archive the
offloaded journals, in the event that these journals are required for a restore operation.
The HSC can be operational while the Journal Offload utility is executing.
