D2RETPD:

The syntax of the D2RETPD parameter is:

Syntax:

D2RETPD=nnnnn

Notes:

• If D2RETPD is omitted, it defaults to the value specified in DRETPD.
• If DRETPD is omitted and D2RETPD is specified, DRETPD defaults to D2RETPD.
• If both DRETPD and D2RETPD are specified, DRETPD must be less than or equal to D2RETPD.
• This parameter does not cause reports to be migrated to secondary disk. Migration is controlled by the DSK2DAYS parameter.

Valid values are 0-32767

This value specifies the number of days (0 to 32767) that a report is to be retained on optical/secondary disk. D2RETPD is intended to be specified with DRETPD to provide separate retention for optical/secondary disk and primary disk.

Note: The DSK2DAYS parameters (initialization parameter and ERO table parameter) must not be greater than DRETPD, because if a report is deleted from primary disk, it will not be available for migration to secondary disk.

If DSK2NOTP is coded on the same ERO Table Entry, no tape backup of the SYSOUT is processed. The SYSOUT is completely deleted from CA View when D2RETPD expires regardless of any other retention parameter.
