Usage notes
Use the INVENTORY command if you want to run the CICS VR automatic deregistration function without
previously scanning a log of logs because the LOGOFLOGS command
scans a log of logs. For more information about the LOGOFLOGS command, LOGOFLOGS: Process a log of logs.
If AUTODEREG(RCDSONLY) is specified, it works when CICS VR finds the retention criteria
for logstream blocks, or individual retention periods for logstreams
are met. For other retention criteria, for example, backup, or change
accumulation, CICS VR can delete
and uncatalog certain entities when they are deregistered from the
RCDS.
