Can someone point me in the right direction?
I am reviewing the system VTOCs and I see a lot of IMS log files that
contain a date/timestamp in their names. I know they are created by the
IMS system using the skeleton proc member ARCHJCL. What I am seeing is
that the file was created with a retention period of 45 days.
//DFSSLOGP DD DSN=IMSVS.SLDSP.%SSID.D%ARDATE.T%ARTIME.V%ARVERS,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),RETPD=45,
// UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=SIMS00,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1))
But, I have daily files going back almost 2 years.
My conclusion is that something stopped cleaning up the files "back when".
Is the clean-up of expired files something normally handled within IMS
or outside of IMS?
