When reading in a list, Adabas Audit Data Retrieval creates a list generation record for this list.
Among other things, this record contains information that is used by the archive batch utility when archiving this list. Some of these values may be modified after the list has been read in:
You can modify the following if a list has not been marked for archiving (status "Arch = No"):
This will display a panel where you can specify the archive medium, archive retention period, and owner.
Prerequisite: The list has not been archived and it has not been marked for archiving (Status "Arch = No")
You can modify the following if a list has been marked for archiving (status "Arch = Pend"):
Prerequisite: The list has been marked for archiving, but has not yet been archived (Status "Arch = Pend").
If you want to modify the archive medium, archive retention period, or owner of a list that has been marked for archiving, enter the line command UA first and afterwards enter the line command A. You can then specify these values in the displayed panel.
Alternatively, you can also carry out these modifications using the line command E. With the help of the line command E and the batch utility B97AXPDT, it is also possible to change the archive expiration date of lists that have already been archived.
