CA View migrates a SYSOUT group to optical disk when all of the following are true:

• The SYSOUT group is archived on primary disk
• The SYSOUT group has or will have permanent retention status
• The number of days since the SYSOUT group was archived exceeds the DSK2DAYS initialization parameter

After migrated to secondary disk storage, a SYSOUT group continues to reside there until deleted, or until it expires from ERO disk retention. ERO disk retention is specified by the DGENS, DCOPIES, or DRETPD ERO table statements.
