Error description
In an RMM environment where MCATTR is set to ON or VRSELXDI, the expiration date can be set invalidly in cases where the expiration date would be taken from the Management class settings. When the RETPD value in EDGRMMxx is greater that the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS VALUE in the MC class, the RETPD value can get applied in error which sets a longer expiration date than was intended by the Management Class settings. ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: RETENTION PERIOD METHOD VITAL RECORD VRSEL
Local fix
BYPASS/CIRCUMVENTION: Expiration date may be manually set with RMM CV volser EXPDT command. The management class can also be changed to have a longer value for EXPIRE AFTER DAYS than the EDGRMMxx RETPD or the RETPD can be reduced to have a shorter value that the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS value.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All DFSMMrmm users having option MCATTR set to ALL or * * VRSELXDI in their EDGRMMxx parmlib member. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * A data set is assigned a management class by an ACS routine. * * If the EXPIRE AFTER DAYS value specified in that Management * * Class is less than the RETPD option in the EDGRMMxx parmlib * * member, then the expiration date can be incorrectly set * * based on the RETPD value rather than on the Management Class * * EXPIRE AFTER DAYS value. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * ****************************************************************
