Change the time of expiration affects old documents?

[LairFilho]

Hi everyone!!!

Currently the CMOD server is configured to expire documents after 10 years.

Now, the customer needs to extend this time to 30 years.

If I change the field "Life of data and indexes", option "Expire in" from 10 years to 30 years, the documents already stored will have the new date expiration?

Best regards,

Hi Lair.

Yes, CMOD calculates which documents are eligible for expiration at the time that maintenance is run, using the value from 'Life of Data and Indexes'.

HOWEVER...  If you're using Tivoli Storage Manager, and you've set a specific retention period at the management class level, you ALSO have to change that setting, or data will be discarded by TSM based on it's own configuration.  As a result, if you have other App Groups that share the same TSM-enabled Storage Set in CMOD, they will need to be moved out of that Storage Set, because they will have their retention extended as a side effect.
