Use this command to specify when recovery plan files are eligible for expiration. This command and expiration processing apply only to recovery plan files that were created with the DEVCLASS parameter specified on the PREPARE command (that is, virtual volumes of type RPFILE and RPSNAPSHOT). Expiration processing on the source server expires plan files stored on the target server. Locally created recovery plan files are not expired.
An RPFILE file is associated with a full plus incremental database backup series. An RPFSNAPSHOT file is associated with a database snapshot backup series.
Attention: The latest RPFILE and RPFSNAPSHOT
files are never deleted.
A recovery plan file is eligible for expiration
if both of the following are true:
- The last recovery plan file of the series has exceeded the expiration value specified with the SET DRMRPFEXPIREDAYS command.
- The latest recovery plan file is not associated with the most recent database backup series.
See the EXPIRE INVENTORY command for more information about expiration processing.
