Item	Description
Journal ID	Identifier for the journal, displayed in ascending order. Blank if no number is available.
Journal Volume Selection	Select Journal Volumes: When clicked, opens the Select Journal Volumes dialog box. Total Selected Journal Volumes: Number of selected journal volumes. Total Selected Capacity: Capacity of selected journal volumes.
Total Selected Journal Volumes	Number of journal volumes selected in the Select Journal Volumes dialog box.
Total Selected Capacity	Total capacity of the journal volume selected in the Select Journal Volumes dialog box.
or MP Unit ID	Journal MP or unit. Options are: MPB0-MPB7. Auto: The default. Available when one or more MP or units can be assigned automatically. If Auto cannot be selected, the default is the MP unit with the lowest number.
Inflow Control	Controls the flow of update data to the journal volume by slowing the response to hosts. Enable: The flow of update data is restricted. Disable: The flow of update data is not restricted.
Data Overflow Watch	Number of seconds the system will monitor metadata and journal data when the journal volume is full (100%). When the metadata area or journal data area is full and no more data can be stored, the system regards this as an error and suspends the pairs in the journal. Range is 0-600 seconds. The UR default is 60; the UR-MF default is 20. In a 3DC multi-target configuration in which three UR sites are combined, if the status of the two mirrors in the primary site is Active and the free space in the journal data area or metadata area is less than a certain amount, one of the mirrors in the journal will be suspended by error, regardless of the value in Data Overflow Watch.
Add	The journal setting in left hand side window is added to the Selected Journals table.
