CATALOG Record

OPTIONAL

Use the CATALOG record to indicate whether the job is to create a catalog and, if so, specify when to condense the catalog and when to discard it.

A file can include more than one CATALOG record, but the file can specify each parameter only once. If the file does not include a CATALOG record, the job creates a catalog that is to be condensed after 15 days and discarded after 30 days.

Jobs that back up CA VM:Backup never create a catalog and therefore ignore this record.

CATALOG [“Parms”]...

Parms:
  CREATE {YES | NO}
| DISCARD days
| CONDENSE days

Definitions

CREATE [YES | NO]

Specifies whether to create a catalog.

Note: You must specify CATALOG CREATE NO if the file specifies one or more INCLUDE DIRECTORY records.

DISCARD days

Specifies the number of days CA VM:Backup is to retain the catalog before discarding it. Specify an integer from 0 through 5000 for days. The default is 30.

CONDENSE days

Specifies the number of days CA VM:Backup is to retain the file-level catalog before condensing it to domain-level. Specify an integer from 0 through 5000 for days. The default is 15.
