Pinning partitions

Partitions are pinned into the database to allow them to be maintained outside the defined data retention periods.

Procedure

The syntax of the pinning partitions option is as follows: 
part_admin -pin [-type] [-subtype] [-tabtype] [-filter] -sdate -edate

Example

The following example pins partitions from all softalarm tables of entity type X25 from the 1st January 2007 to the 10th January 2007:

part_admin -pin -type ENTITY -subtype "X25" -tabtype "softalarm" 
		-sdate 2007010100 -edate 2007011000
