MUPIP JOURNAL EXTRACT currently does not work well if the journal file it is extracting from is concurrently being updated. It works fine some times but also terminates abnormally (example output shown below) some times.
%YDB-E-JNLUNXPCTERR, Unexpected error encountered for Journal mumps.mjl at disk address 0x00035BB8
%YDB-E-JNLBADRECFMT, Journal File Record Format Error encountered for file mumps.mjl at disk address 0x00035BB8
It would be nice to get this fixed.
Draft Release Note
MUPIP JOURNAL -EXTRACT on a journal file that is being concurrently updated creates an extract file reflecting the state of the journal file when the command started executing. Previously, it was possible for the extract command to terminate abnormally with JNLBADRECFMT, JNLUNXPCTERR, and very rarely even GTMASSERT2 errors (which also produces a core file).
