If you use server-to-server virtual volumes for the RPFs, then this works
very nicely. If you put the RPFs into a local file system/directory then
this is a nice reminder that you should periodically get rid of older
RPFs. Some of my installations have automated this clean-up, but most of
my installations just manually delete old RPFs every 6 months or so. The
RPFs typically are small, so they don't take up much room.

DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS






Hello All!

I had thought that by doing the set drmrpfexpiredays that the file would
expire after the number of days specified for this parameter, but the
files
are still there.  Do I have to run a certain command in order for this to
expire?  Thanks in advance!

* Recovery plan files of type RPFILE and RPFSNAPSHOT. The SET

     DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS command controls when these volumes are eligible for

     expiration.
