The expiration time and load mainly depend on number of objects and not on their total size. If you have to expire several thousands Domino databases it will go pretty quick. But when the time comes to the mountain of transaction logs of the Domino server, things may get worse.
For that reason TSM is having the CANcel EXPiration command. You can schedule EXPire INVentory to start say at 15:00 and schedule at 19:00 expiration cancellation. Thus expiration would have only four hours each day and when everything got expired it should finish before being cancelled. Put your own periods and schedules! Be aware that if your expiration needs outgrow your expiration window, you will sonner or later run out of scratches!!! Usual expiration should finish on time and should not need to be cancelled.

I hope to update the domain and copygroups to reflect our lesser needs. This would then allow terabytes of data to be expired. Is it necessary to control the expiration? My fear is that expiration could carry on for a very long time and have performance implications. Any ideas on how to approach this would be appreciated. --------------------------------- Post your free ad now! Yahoo! Canada Personals
