We hit the problem at 6.3.6 per this document <http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IT17642> which says:
*After upgrading the server to 6.3.6.000 (or higher) and 7.1.3 (or higher) expiration might "hang" on a node while expiring backup data only. Expiration is not actually hung it is still processing but very slowly due to a non-optimized* *SQL/Select. A change to this SQL/Select occurred between 6.3.5.0 and 6.3.6.0. This code change was implemented in servers 6.3.6.0+ and 7.1.3.0 to 7.1.7. There have been no reported problems at 7.1.3 or above.* On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 8:35 AM, Hans Christian Riksheim <bull...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have noticed that expiration suddenly takes a lot more time.
