Perhaps it's a timing issue. For DB2 you have to issue "db2adutl delete
older than x days without prompting" otherwise DB2 will keep backups
forever. In TSM you run "expire inventory". Both are necessary to remove
all pieces of the db2 backup. Perhaps for this database you run the DB2
command AFTER the TSM one. This would allow a not so short period of time
where you are able to display these "expire immediate" objects.
