No, only marks files inactive. The expire has to compare the status to the
copygroup retention criteria to know what can be purged from the database.
You can manually delete records, but running an expire is easier. Certain
problems can be fixed this way.

Oh bimps.
Something else to script, that should happen automatically.
But thanks, I'm glad to know it's not just me.

I have. We are on 3.7.0 (I know, bad idea but that is what I am
stuck with
for now). We have to run expire three times. The first two stop
pre-maturely. The third time it takes off. We do this program
wise. The
first scheduled program starts expire and makes a scheduled program
to run
in 5 min. This scheduled program checks to see if expire is running
- if
not start expire and reschedule itself for 5 min. If expire is
still
running then it is assumed that it will now run to conclusion and
deletes
itself (actually it runs a process that keeps looking for expire to
finish
so that we can run the next phase of our daily chores). This has
been going
on for almost a year.

Subject: EXPIRE INVENTORY shuts down
TSM 3.7.4 on AIX 4.3.3
I have EXPIRE INVENTORY scheduled to run for 1.5 hours in the wee
hours:
EXPIRE INVENTORY QUIET=YES DURATION=90
Sometimes EXPIRE INVENTORY runs OK.
Other times it starts up, examines/expires 200-300 objects, then
shuts
itself down again in 2-3 minutes with the normal message of SUCCESS.
Now I know it should be expiring 100,000+ objects per day.
If I start it again manually, it takes off and runs as you would
expect.
Does anyone else see this happen?
Any idea what causes the premature shutdown?
