Enable Journal Caching for all customer libraries including Q

We are using IBM Lab tool PowerSc and we noticed jobs with large journal wait for QZRDQWKEDT/QSQJRN.

We tried to use journal cache (*YES).
CHGJRN JRN(QZRDQWKEDT/QSQJRN) JRNCACHE(*YES)

It failed with MSGID CPF709F , see attached document.


Use Case:

CHGJRN JRN(QZRDQWKEDT/QSQJRN) JRNCACHE(*YES)

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed. The database team has many higher priority items to implement. This request is lower priority since it has been open for several years and it still has a low number of votes.

    The CAAC has reviewed this RFE. We recommend that you discuss this scenario with IBM Lab Services, since it is their tool. As the message indicates, journal caching cannot be started because Q libraries and journals are IBM only.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
