When you create a table, journaling can be enabled by default, depending on the setting of default_journaling in the DBMS Server class your session is attached to. You can also use the WITH JOURNALING option on CREATE TABLE.

In Director or VDBA, you can verify whether journaling is enabled or disabled by clicking Options in the New Table page or Create Table dialog, respectively. This opens the Options dialog, which contains a Journaling check box. By disabling the Journaling check box, you turn off journaling for an individual table, but use caution. For additional information about journaling and the ramifications of disabling journaling at the table level, see the chapter on backup and recovery.
