When using versioning in your media policies, if you delete a library, the tape containing that library will not expire. A new data area, QUSRBRM/Q1ADLTVERS, is provided that will allow you to specify that the tapes containing these deleted libraries should be automatically expired. This data area specifies the number of days that BRMS should retain the saved item information for those libraries after it has detected (via the Start Maintenance for BRM (STRMNTBRM) command) that they have been deleted. Once this time period has been exceeded, the saved item information for those libraries will automatically be expired
In order to specify that you want to expire any saved items whose associated library was deleted in the last xx days, issue the following command:
