IBM TSM - How to update the retain and version parameters in a copygroup
Update copygroup
To change the retain only parameter to 120 days type the following.
upd copy domain_name policy_set_name management_class_name standard reto=120
For example.
upd copy batch_ora_std standard batch_ora_mgmt standard reto=120
Validate the policyset
Then validate the policyset as follows.
validate policy domain_name policy_set
For example.
validate policy batch_ora_std standard
You may get output similar to the following.
ANR1554W DEFAULT Management class BATCH_ORA_MGMT in policy set BATCH_ORA_STD STANDARD does not have an ARCHIVE copygroup: files will not be archived by default if this set is activated. ANR1515I Policy set STANDARD validated in domain BATCH_ORA_STD (ready for activation).
This is ok as an archive copy group is not required in this case.
Activate the policyset
Finally activate the policyset as follows.
activate policy domain_name policy_set
For example.
activate policy batch_ora_std standard
You may get output similar to the following.
ANR1554W DEFAULT Management class BATCH_ORA_MGMT in policy set BATCH_ORA_STD STANDARD does not have an ARCHIVE copygroup: files will not be archived by default if this set is activated. Do you wish to proceed? (Yes (Y)/No (N)) y ANR1554W DEFAULT Management class BATCH_ORA_MGMT in policy set BATCH_ORA_STD STANDARD does not have an ARCHIVE copygroup: files will not be archived by default if this set is activated. ANR1514I Policy set STANDARD activated in policy domain BATCH_ORA_STD.
