I have a request. I am working to try and get management to let me clean up some old tapes in preparation for a potential library replacement and they would like to know what other practices are.
What do other sites do for mainframe tape data retention for files created either prior to a site implementing SMS policies for data retention or for sites that do not use SMS policies to manage their default tape data retention? This would be more directed towards how long a file is kept after creation and would override default catalog control, but not EXPDT retentions.
