ERROR DESCRIPTION:
ADSM Inventory expiration automatically executes each hour
and can comsume a significant amount of CPU cycles in
large installations. The expiration period should be
configurable by the customer so that system load can
be managed.

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All ADSM Release 1 Users *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ADSM server executes inventory *
* expiration automatically every hour. *
* The expiration function requires *
* significant resources when *
* executed on large ADSM servers. *
* To control cpu utilization, the *
* customer should be able to control *
* when ADSM expiration runs. *
* ADSM server inventory expiration execut *
* *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: Apply PTF that resolves this problem, *
* when available *
****************************************************************
Added EXPInterval to options file processing to allow
customers to set the interval between automatic file
expiration processing. The default value is 1 hour with the
maximum value set to 336 hours (2 weeks). An EXPIre inventory
command has been added to start expiration manually when the
customer desires. Additional timing changes were made in
the server to reduce CPU utilization when the server is idle.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
The following documentation describes how these changes
can be used by the customer:
NEW SERVER OPTIONS FILE PARAMETER
EXPINterval
Specifies the interval in hours between automatic inven-
tory expiration by the server. Inventory expiration
removes client backup and archive file copies from the
server as specified by the management classes to which
the client files are bound. By default, the server will
automatically run inventory expiration each hour (the
interval is 1 hour between automatic expiration runs).
Specify the EXPINterval option with:
EXPINterval hours
_____
Where hours specifies the number of hours between auto-
_____
matic inventory expiration runs. The minimum value per-
mitted is 0, where automatic expiration will not execute
and must be started with the EXPIRE INVENTORY command.
The maximum value permitted is 336 hours (14 days).
The EXPIRE INVENTORY command can be used to start inven-
tory expiration at any time. Please note that expiration
can make space available in your storage pools for addi-
tional client backup or archive files. If expiration is
not executed periodically, storage pool space will not be
reclaimed from expired client files, and the server will
not reclaim storage space based on management class
policy definitions.
NEW COMMANDS
EXPIRE INVENTORY
(MANUALLY START INVENTORY EXPIRATION PROCESSING)
Use the EXPIRE INVENTORY command to manually start inven-
tory expiration processing. Only one expiration process
is allowed at any time; therefore, if expiration proc-
essing is currently running, another process cannot be
started. Expiration eligibility is determined by policy
information assigned to either the backup or archive
files. If a file is eligible for expiration, the storage
used by this file is deallocated.
Automatic expiration processing is controlled by the
EXPINTERVAL parameter located in the ADSM server
options file (DSMSERV.OPT). For additional information
about the EXPINTERVAL parameter and the ADSM server
options file, see above.
When the EXPINTERVAL parameter is specified as 0, this
command MUST be used to start expiration, since
automatic expiration will not occur.
This command creates a background process that can be
canceled with the CANCEL PROCESS command. To display
information on background processes, use the QUERY
PROCESS command.
The inventory expiration process removes client backup
and archive file copies from server storage under the
terms specified by the management classes to which the
files are bound.
PRIVILEGE CLASS
To issue this command you must have system privilege.

NEW MESSAGES
ANR0821I EXPIRATION THREAD ALREADY PROCESSING - UNABLE
TO BEGIN ANOTHER EXPIRATION PROCESS.
EXPLANATION: The expiration thread is already proc-
essing. The processing expiration thread is either an
EXPIRE INVENTORY command or is the automatic background
expiration process. In either case, another expiration
process cannot be started until the current expiration
process completes or is canceled.
SYSTEM ACTION: Current expiration process continues.
USER RESPONSE: Use the QUERY PROCESS command to deter-
mine the status of the current expiration process.
