Operations Center updates

New features are available in IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center Version 8.1.9.

The following new features are available:
  • The data retention feature now supports cases where data must be retained indefinitely. To preserve data indefinitely, you can add one or more retention sets to a retention hold. A retention hold is a collection of retention sets that are preserved regardless of their expiration dates. When a retention set is in a retention hold, the data in the retention set cannot be deleted until the retention set is explicitly released from the retention hold. To help your organization document its actions to preserve data, every change that is made to a retention hold is logged.
  • The command approval feature can be enabled to prevent certain commands from running until they are approved by another administrator. By using this feature, you might grant less-experienced administrators greater authority to complete more tasks, but have more-experienced administrators review their work for unintended consequences. You might also use this feature to create a peer-review process for equally experienced administrators.

For more information about these enhancements, see the Operations Center help.
