How to shrink a WIJ
I have a DR Mirror with a WIJ that is 5 times as large as the Primary Failover member. My Read-Write Reporting mirror WIJs are the same size as the Primary. I don't know why the DR WIJ i so large and would like to shrink it to the same size as the others. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

If it's possible restart the DR Mirror. WIJ should be recreated on startup.
Size of WIJ is in Relation to Global Buffers. With equal size of G.Buf. you should get similar size of WIJ
It can be a sign of too long Write Daemon buffer queues on your DR Backup member. The reason for it can be insufficient throughput of its disk i/o subsystem and/or problems with disk i/o. I should start with looking through cconsole.log for messages indicating:
- abnormal latency of disk access
- Write Daemon non-responsive "more than 5 minutes" states
- Write Daemon panic
- and so on.
Next step would be start pButtons monitoring around the clock to indicate the guessed issue(s) more selectively. Looking at OS performance logs can be helpful as well.
