I want to do some cleanup and essentially purge some clients from Networker. Ultimately, I wish to delete a client from Networker. However, my concern is that if I simply delete the client, its index and other references will remain. I suspect I would need to manually expire all the savesets and THEN
delete the client.

Previously I would set the properties of the client to "Day" for browse and
retention, which is fine, but I'd like to do this without waiting a day.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how best to purge a client from Networker?

To really purge the client, you will need to go out and manually expire all the existing savesets, and then remove the client definition, and then remove the index directory. If you change the browse/retention time to 1 day, that will not change the existing saveset's browse/retention time -- only new savesets will have the different browse/retention time.

That's interesting, because the behavior Tom desired was how Networker did things with version 5. Then, you needed the client object to exist or else nsrim couldn't tell the retention for each saveset.


Sorry....
