Use this command to specify the retention period for client-node replication records in the source replication-server database. You can use client node replication records to monitor running and completed processes.
A replication record is created when REPLICATE NODE command processing is started. By default,Tivoli® Storage Manager retains client-node replication records for 30 calendar days. A calendar day consists of 24 hours, from midnight to midnight.
The server automatically removes replication records from the database as part of inventory expiration processing after the retention period passes. As a result, the amount of time that records are retained can exceed the specified retention period. If a replication process runs longer than the retention period, the record of the process is not deleted until the process ends, the retention period passes, and expiration runs.
Issue this command on the server that acts as a source for replicated data.
