MP Server / Document Based Expiration Type

« on: January 22, 2014, 11:07:58 PM »

Hello,

I have created an Application Group with expiration type set as document based.
The AG is setup with a "Cache Only" storage set with Life of Data and indexes set as 2 days.

The way I understand it, is the document purge process, in case of document based expiration type, will be done based upon the "Expire Date" field. So the document would be purged by ARSMAINT when the CURRENT_DATE = Date value specified in the field maked as Expire Date.

However, while testing, I can see that the document object is purged whenever the ARSMAINT is run, irrespective of the Date in the Expire Date. I have tested this by setting a future date as Expire date and still the Document Object gets purged if I run the ARSMAINT process today.

Note : The database entires are not deleted for the documents.
The ARSMAINT command and parameters I am using are as below

Code: [Select]

${ARSBIN}/arsmaint -I "${ODINST}" -g "${AG}" -d -c -s -x 0 -n 0
 Please let me know if this is a known issue annd if somebody in the group has encountered this before and any inputs you can provide me to get a work around for this?

Report Indexing / Compiling User exits

« on: October 24, 2013, 12:24:09 AM »

Hello,

I am trying to compile an user exit written in C, on AIX box.

However, the instruction for compilation, per the IBM site, is provided in the ACIF README file on the product CD. Since this product was installed way back, I do not have the access to the product CD.

Appreciate any help/gudelines either on the compilation process or the ACIF readme file.

z/OS Server / What is the significance of a mid-server

« on: October 09, 2009, 04:34:49 AM »

What is the significance of a mid-server? Can I eliminate this layer and still be able to use APIs through COBOL? Is it imperative to have a mid-server for OnDemand?
