Setting automatic deregistration criteria

CICS® VR provides an automatic deregistration function to prevent situations where the RCDS becomes full.

This function periodically removes outdated information from the RCDS, based on retention criteria that the customer sets. CICS VR can delete and uncatalog certain entities when they are deregistered from the RCDS.

You can specify a separate retention period for each of the entities known, including log streams, log streams copies, backups, and change accumulation data sets (CA), and control the automatic deregister criteria from one functional panel.

Select option 4 from the CICS VR main menu to open the CICS VR automatic deregister criteria menu:
