No magic here. I didn't say it was easy - in fact, it was damned hard to get it to work. The problem was that the Journal service kept stopping. I had to open a PMR with support. In the end I made 2 changes to the tsmjbbd.ini file: NotifyFilter=0x00000113 NotifyBufferSize=0x00400000 I think it was the buffer size that was the key. You need to give the journal LOTS of memory for it to keep up with all the messages the disk handler throws at it. Another thing we looked at was anti-virus software on the server. There was (maybe still is) a known issue with this, which is mentioned in the Readme. I seem to remember that this was the reason for the filter settings. Our filter settings are not what are in the Readme, after discussions with support. YMMV - the general idea is to cut down on all unecessary messages. Plus we set the registry key mentioned in the Readme. I think this has come up quite a few times already, and you'll probably find other suggestions in the archives. Richard Foster Norsk Hydro asa
