2/28/08 Replicating the active OS/400 History Log
If you use a high availability solution and you need to do an emergency switchover, the active history log that is contained in system storage (accessed via DSPLOG) can be replicated to a backup system in order for the history log to be reviewed during an unplanned switch. Using the following CL code*, you can actively poll this storage and store it in an OS/400 DB2 table.
