Jeffrey,
Please contact tech support on this and refer to LGTpa53995.  There was a
deliberate change made in 7.0 to prevent the change of non-browsable
savesets (i.e. those that were already out of the client file index, but
still in the media database).

LGTpa53995 has a hot fix to return the behaviour to that which you
experienced in the 6.x release, that support should be able to provide you.
I believe 7.1 will also have that fix.


Patrick,

Can you tell us why the change in functionality was made, and why it was
thought to be better? Can you also tell us why it was decided to do a
U-turn on this and return to the original behaviour? Is it just that
Legato Engineering's left hand doesn't know what the right hand is
doing? :-)

I understand that you obviously can't change the browse time when it's
already passed, but you can still the retention time. If you were
writing a script to modify these, you'd probably just use the -w and the
-e parameters on the nsrmm command. Maybe a warning would be sensible
here, but it shouldn't make the command fail, it should change the
retention date but leave the browse unchanged.
