Archive expiration is the sum of the ARCHIVE_DATE as seen in the ARCHIVES table, plus the RETVer value of the management class to which the files are bound. The pertinent date can change during importation via the Dates parameter of IMport Node. If you are importing Archive files and not also importing their original management class, then the default management class will pertain *if* it contains an archive Copy Group, else the domain ARCHRETention will pertain.
