It is always better to have a schedule expiration rather than this to be
triggered by the ADSM server, as this will impact performance if running with
other processes. Try scheduling this when ADSM is not busy. Define an admin
schedule with the command 'expire inventory'.
Be sure to change your server options file to not run expiry processing
automatically.

Ensure that once this schedule is defined that it runs without problems.

There is no way I can think of to control the length of time, or for how long
expiry processing takes.
