Normally you would not need to edit or manage a file such as this.
The Syncsort™ Capacity Management Control Center sends down a properly formatted file to the Acquire on request.
Using the following sample file, data capture would run from 09:00 to 17:00 inclusive, Monday to Friday, at 1800 second (30-minute) intervals.
At 11:59 each Monday the job to delete transferred files would be run (transferred files are those that have been collected by the Syncsort™ Capacity Management Control Center and renamed with an “r” prefix on the VMS system). This job also deletes captured files (i.e., those that have not yet been collected and renamed).
-
The SetTransferredFileLifetime field describes how old in hours renamed files must be to be included for deletion (in this example 48 hours or 2 days). An entry of zero means never delete – This is not recommended for anything other than short-term usage. A setting of zero could potentially fill up your disk drive and stop your system.
-
The SetRetainedFileLifetime field describes how old in hours uncaptured files must be to be included for deletion (in this example 120 hours or 5 days). An entry of zero means never delete - THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN SHORT-TERM USAGE. A setting of zero could potentially fill up your disk drive and stop your system.
-
The SetTarget field in the IDataStorage section is important. This is a unique 8-digit number specific to this target system. All 8 characters should be used. Therfore, leading zeroes should be included where appropriate, e.g., “00340078”
