General Information

Parameter # OF GENERATIONS TO KEEP specifies the number of generations of report backups that should be retained. A nonzero value must be specified for either # OF DAYS TO KEEP or # OF GENERATIONS TO KEEP, but not both.

Note: For information about requirements and restrictions when changing from # OF GENERATIONS TO KEEP to # OF DAYS TO KEEP, see the Control-D and Control-V chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

Utility CTDCLHST produces a list of backups that fall outside the range of generations to keep. These "out of date" backups are then automatically deleted or uncataloged.

Utility CTDUPBKP can be used to update the retention period and backup volume serial numbers in History or Active User Report files. For information about utility CTDUPBKP, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
