<snip> I have noticed that server dsns are being retained by DFHSM and my suspicion is that the EXPIRE NON-USAGE and EXPIRE DATE/DAYS are in conflict in MANAGEMENT class. For example MGMTCLAS EXPIRE EXPIRE RET PARTIAL PRIMARY NAME NON-USAGE DATE/DAYS LIMIT RELEASE DAYS
BKMSMF 731 731 0 YES ---- Would the problem be resolved if I changed the EXPIRE NON-USAGE to NOLIMIT and kept the EXPIRE DATE/DAYS at 731? </snip> IIRC, If you set the expire date/days to 731, that is the upper limit of what the users can specify (and most likely what will be used). This is an absolute number. i.e. if the file is referenced on day 730, it will still expire on day 731. If you were to reverse the logic (expire non-usage 731, expire date-days nolimit) the file will be removed 731 days after LAST REFERENCE. i.e. if the file is referenced on day 730, it will now expire on day 1431. Please double check me with the online help or the fine manuals. I have responded without reference to either. The online help has a good discussion on this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
