z/OS Server / Life of data and indexes CMOD 8.4.0.3 Storage Set Archive Storage Question

« on: May 02, 2012, 04:25:27 PM »

Hi,
I am running CMOD 8.4.0.3 using OAM as the archive storage manager. I stumbled across a situation(s) in our environment.
We have application group(s) where the Life of data and indexes value is higher than the retention of the Storage Set.  Example:
Storage Set: 1096 days
Life of Data and Indexes: Expire in 1826 days
Expiration Type: LOAD
Cache Data: No
Database Organization: Multiple Loads per database table.

Is there any negative impact to CMOD if the Life of data and Indexes value is changed to 1096?
With the current values, is the issue that I will have indexes and no data? A search could list a document that cannot be viewed, doesn't exist?  Or, is there something more?  We haven't been on CMOD for more than 1096 days but getting close.     
Thanks,
cj

z/OS Server / Re: CMOD 8.5 IS OUT!!!!

Thanks.  We use ODF.  In the ODF 8.5 Install manual, Appendix B is Migrating from 8.4.1 to 8.5.  I would think it would be documented in the software requirements and not almost hidden.  I will open a pmr and verify with IBM that upgrading CMOD to 8.5 requires 8.4.1 in an environment with ODF.  Thanks, again.

Hi,
I'm new here.  We currently run CMOD 8.4.0 on a z/OS environment and I'd like to upgrade to 8.5 after as we finish our DB2 v9 upgrade.  My question is related to the upgrade documentation as can be seen in the README and other CMOD doc.  OnDemand for z/OS 8.4.0 is a prereq to upgrade to 8.5, but under the ODF topic, the ODF migration tool requires the ODF Administrator Tables be at the 8.4.1 level.  I don't see any information in the Install Guide, PSP, or anywhere else to get me to the 8.4.1 level.  Maybe I need to go to 8.4.1 first?  Also, I don't see anything about these tables changing in any of the 8.4.1 Upgrade/Installation documentation.
I appreciate any input or help locating this info in the documentation. 
Thanks,
cj
