How to verify if expire is working on a stgpool

[Mag0007]

How can you verify if the expire is working on a stgpool?

How can you tell the retention period of files too?

TIA

This is TSM which does not use retention periods unless for archives. Check the TSM log and search for expiration every day. The expiration process should take place every morning.

thanks comtec17, i have already tried that.

But how do I verify my settings on the retention rate. Is it the policy or management class or something else?

TIA

It is the mgmt class.
Just try:
dsmc q backup c:\ -subdir=yes

this will give you a list on what mgmt cals is used on every file. Just change c:\ to /home or something for a unix box
