Identify and Archive Stale Gaps

The Identify and Archive Stale Gaps job performs maintenance on the Journal Log (JLOG) gap records created by those batch & chain jobs that track progress through a journal. When such journal tracking encounters a range of records that are not on the journal, it is logged as a gap for later review. After a period of time, these gap records can be marked as stale so processing will not read them.  Eventually the records are archived with this same job.

Posting

The Journal Engine journalizes posting lines which have not been journalized and are marked as ’ready for posting’ either from the Journal Posting Initiator job or from normal transaction processing with Real Time Journal Posting turned off.

Partial Transaction Ledger Engine

This job handles such a rare scenario that, ideally, it should never have to be used. It is used when an instance of the Ledger Engine failed to write out all the journal records for a transaction to all the ledgers built from that journal. If this partial ledgerization scenario takes place, it was most likely due to some unusual situation. The functional and technical recommendation for this outcome is to rebuild the ledger(s) affected, so as to ensure that Journal Record(s) are neither missed nor double counted. In the case where rebuilding of the ledgers is not feasible then this Partial Transaction Ledger Engine job can be utilized.
