I think I'm confused (not unusual!).
Rebinding is CHANGING the MgtClass an object is bound to, NOT changing the
policies within a MgtClass.
If we just change the policies of the MgtClass to retain the archive for 12
years, that WILL work. What WON'T work is creating a NEW MgtClass with 12 year
retention and trying to rebind to that.
The Archive table in db2 has CLASS_NAME, that's what can't change. But the
policies in the CLASS_NAME can change.
Of course, changing the policies effect everyone using that MgtClass, but we
can live with that . . . . I think.
Ok, is that right?
Thanks!

Subject: rebinding objects for API client archives
We have a TSM instance that is dedicated to "applications". These are
applications that use the API client to store some kind of object in TSM. An
example is IBM Content Manager. Nodes are in domains with a default Mgt Class
with 7 years retention, and store their data as Archives, although one
application uses Backups.
We received a legal hold request to keep some of this data for 12 years.
It's my understanding that you cannot rebind archive data. That is, changing
the MgtClass will do nothing to keep this data longer.
Do we have to change the Mgt Class and have the users retrieve/re-archive the
data?
Is this correct? Thoughts?
Thoughts?
