Until now, I run this each day and hold all stores while it (15 mins) processes. Now after upgrading to 8.4.1, it runs too long for the 15 minute window. How do others manage expiration? Once a week? Any DB2 parms that will improve performance?
Thanks,

Hi Walt.
You'll want your local DB2 DBA to take a peek at your database configuration to see if there are opportunities to improve performance (IO Cleaners, etc.).
I'm not sure which version you started with, but newer versions of CMOD do better checking for the eligibility of files for expiration (specifically, not deleting files that would normally be ready for cache expiration due to extended cache retention in the AG config).
It's likely that your only real choice is to extend your outage window.
