Hello dears,

we upgraded our adsm server yesterday from 3.1.1.3 to 3.1.2.20, OS/390 2.4.

Expire processing still running after more than 8h30 elapsed, more than
2'000'000 objets inspected, more than 1'000'000 backup objects deleted! I
hope I still get backups in my database...

Will tell you tomorrow the definitive results of this first expire after the
upgrade (normal expire time, db size...).

IBM, please make a note in the installation readme's, about this long expire
processing!

Question: did we got the expire problem even if we never install 3.1.2 and
went directly from 3.1.1.3 to 3.1.2.20? It seems that the answer is
positive.

Regards,
