Hi *SMer,
one of our customers is making a backup of his DB2/2 V6.1 database once a day
and his files (One Backup = One File in the Database-Filespace!) are stored in a
filespace where the name of the filespace is the same as the DB2-Database-Name.
His Commands are:
1) to define the managementclass to the backup =>
"db2 update db configuration for xxxxxxxx using ADSM_MGMTCLASS DB2"
2) to start the DB2-backup =>
"db2 backup database xxxxxxxx use adsm "
(where xxxxxxxx is the databasename)

Everything works fine to the DB2-Admin... (even the restore!)

Now my problem as TSM Admin =>
Although in the Managementclass DB2 (backup copy group) is defined, that the
files are deleted after one day - ALL Files from the beginning are still saved
in the TSM-Storagepools. And the amount is really huge !
This is the query of the Copygroup =>
            Policy Domain Name: STANDARD
               Policy Set Name: ACTIVE
               Mgmt Class Name: DB2
               Copy Group Name: STANDARD
               Copy Group Type: Backup
          Versions Data Exists: 5
         Versions Data Deleted: 1
         Retain Extra Versions: 1
           Retain Only Version: 1
                     Copy Mode: Modified
            Copy Serialization: Shared Static
                Copy Frequency: 0
              Copy Destination: BACKUPPOOL
Last Update by (administrator): WOLKE
         Last Update Date/Time: 2001-01-26 12:13:12
              Managing profile:

(Notice: The node is assigned to the Policy Domain STANDARD!)

Why doesn't TSM use the defined policy-information and delete the files in this
case ?

One thing I remarked:
When you delete a "normal" filespace, then the files are only marked as deleted
and they are logically deleted from the database when the EXPIRE INVENTORY
occurs.
BUT - now I deleted a DB2-Filespace and all the tapes, where the DB2-Data was
stored, are now empty, WITHOUT the EXPIRE INVENTORY process.

Our Server-Configuration is:
.) OS/390 V2 R9.0
.) Tivoli Storage Manager for MVS, Version 3, Release 7, Level 4.0

Any suggestions, what's going wrong ? (The problem is, that one backup uses 4
GB........and after 100 days, we had 400 GBs of data stored!)
Thanks in advance...
