DSK2DAYS: Initialization Parameter and ERO Table Parameter

The DSK2DAYS ERO table parameter specifies the number of days a SYSOUT group with expanded retention status is to remain on primary disk before it is migrated to secondary disk and deleted from primary disk.

Syntax:

DSK2DAYS=nnn

Only SYSOUT groups with permanent retention status are eligible for migration to optical disk.

The DSK2DAYS SARINIT initialization parameter sets a global default for a CA View database.

Setting DSK2DAYS=0 specifies that SYSOUT groups are to be migrated to optical disk with the next scheduled optical migration. The default is 999, which specifies that SYSOUT groups are never to be migrated to optical disk.
