Version Information Examples
Chapter 1. Introduction 1-23
Examples
This section contains examples of retention under multiple criteria.
You need to retain each version of an inventory dataset for 100 days. You also need to retain
the last 10 versions, regardless of when they were created. The dataset definition specifies:
Generation Dataset......YES
Retention Days.......100
Retention Cycles.....10
Retention DLA........0
During the first 100 days after creating the first version, you create a total of nine versions.
On day 101, no versions are scratched because you still have not completed 10 cycles.
If you create Version 11 after only 60 days, no version is eligible for scratch because the first
version you created is only 60 days old. It is retained until day 100 regardless of the number
of versions created up to that time.
An accounting job produces results from work datasets in multiple stages. If you decide to
save the work datasets for 15 days after the last time you use the data, catalog the dataset with:
Generation Dataset......NO
Retention Days.......0
Retention Cycles.....0
Retention DLA........15
Each version is saved for 15 days after its last access.
If you want a temporary dataset, you specify:
Generation Dataset......NO
Retention Days.......0
Retention Cycles.....0
Retention DLA........0
All versions are eligible for scratch at all times.
