Not to bump this thread back from the dead.
Heres 2 scenarios.
Lets say I have an application group...Load to cache for 5 days, then migrate over to TSM. Expire from TSM @ 30 days
Then we run our arsmaint -cvrmsid
30 days passes, and we run arsmaint as regularly scheduled. By now, the document has been expired from cache, and migrated to TSM. It's at its 30 day point, so ARSMAINT will remove the indexes from the db, and TSM will expire the data, because we have RETVER=30 as the setting.
Lets say I have another application group...Load directly to TSM, never expire
Then we run our arsmaint -cmvrsid regularly, and our RETVER=9999 (Or whatever max aka forever is...)
The document will be expired in like 30 years
Does ARSMAINT trigger or "TELL" TSM, hey, its time to delete this data? How does that work? is it proprietary?
