    Switch_Journal

    Changes the currently active .aij file to the next available .aij
    file in a fixed-size after-image journaling configuration.

    In an extensible journal file configuration, the Switch_Journal
    qualifier has no effect and is ignored if specified.

    The Switch_Journal qualifier is useful for forcing a switch to an
    .aij file on another disk when you want to perform maintenance on
    the disk containing the currently active journal file.

    You cannot specify the Switch_Journal qualifier and the Enable
    or the Disable qualifier on the same command line. In addition,
    after-image journaling must be enabled when you issue the Switch_
    Journal qualifier.

    It is seldom necessary to specify this option because normally a
    switch occurs automatically.
