Hello,

Because of a previous APAR (PQ22256):

"INVENTORY EXPIRATION DOES NOT EXPIRE AS EXPECTED FROM THE
VEREXISTS PARAMETER IN THE COPYGROUP"

ADSM 3.1.2.1 was keeping more versions. This is fixed by the 3.1.2.40.
But since this is a versioning problem it won't be corrected by an expire
inventory.
The file scdb.db1_COL needs to be backed up again to delete the incorrect
extra versions.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Regards,

Vo An Nguyen

Hi

recently (this morning actually) we have upgraded from Version 3, Release
1,
Level 2.1 to Version 3, Release 1, Level 2.40:
nevertheless 'expire inventory' does not work as I would expect it should
work:
e.g.
      NODE_NAME: EUSC02
 FILESPACE_NAME: /export/eusc0210b
          STATE: INACTIVE_VERSION
           TYPE: FILE
        HL_NAME: /sc21tst/data/
        LL_NAME: scdb.db1_COLD
      OBJECT_ID: 142834
    BACKUP_DATE: 1999-07-22 02:14:51.000000
DEACTIVATE_DATE: 1999-07-23 02:13:54.000000
          OWNER: sc21tst
     CLASS_NAME: BACKUP_14

this version backed up at 1999-07-22 should be expired already because for
mgmtclass BACKUP_14 we specified Versions Data Exists 14 and in total there
are 141 inactive versions for the same LL_NAME i.e. scdb.db1_COLD  and
HL_NAME and FILESPACE_NAME  !!!!!
Likely there are more .......

Could anyone explain why these are not deleted ????
Thanks in advance.
