We have just upgraded our ADSM/MVS server to 3.1.2.20 over this past
weekend.  Following the normal process checks, the EXPIRE INVENTORY
command was executed.  This ran for approximately 36 hours and issued
a successfully completion message.  This is only set to run once a week
by schedule.

Today, we ran the follow up to the upgrade which was the execution of the AUDIT
RECLAIM Utility.  The message was returned that no items were identified
as needing to be processed.  The RECLAIM_ANALYSIS table was empty.

I had expected that (at the very least) the growing number of backup copies
found in the inventory would be reduced to the VEREXISTS parameter as
set up in the copygroup.  The large number of tapes that had grown to hold the
non-expiring inventory are still present and do not appear to be going away
anytime soon.

Did I miss something?  Should one or both of these utilities reduce the
inventory
back to what is specified in the respective management class copy groups?
