If the situation is a short term one time thing, you can change your management class retention period for the affected management calss until the need has passed and then change it back.
Whilst I have a lot of management classes for ad-hoc archives arch_1M, arch_1y and so on, for any application that has an archive requirement I give them their own archive management class that is named by function rather than retention period specifically so that it can be changed easily when requirements change Steve Harris AIX and TSM Admin Queensland Health, Brisbane Australia ********************************************************************** This e-mail, including any attachments sent with it, is confidential and for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
