IIRC - if you delete the management class construct definition without ensuring that all datasets with that management class have been altered to a new management class, you will no longer be able to manage that data automatically. Say if the old construct was defined to migrate data from primary to level 1 to level 2 based on # of days unused and then expire after some # of days, that data will be stuck wherever it's at when the construct is deleted. If it's on primary, it stays on primary; if it's on level 1, it stays on level 1;etc. - it will never expire. The same will be true for any other criteria defined in the construct. As someone else mentioned, it's best to alter all data sets having the old management class (including migrated data) to the new management class before deleting the construct. You can, of course, alter your ACS code to assign different management class. A construct can exist, even though it's not assigned in the code. ************************************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
