ARSMAINT - Catchup after migration

[jsquizz]

Hi All,

we are planning on running arsmaint after not running it for a few months - due to moving to a new Z/OS platform.

Is there any way to "Simulate" a document count of what would be expired..if that makes sense.

We plan on just using arsmaint -d -g <app group>

We'd like to know how much we have to get caught up on.

Thanks!

Nope.  Running a single AG at a time is a good idea though.

Only other advice I have is to run it over a long weekend when usage is low.

On z/OS there's the New Function APAR for OAM enables simulation of OAM functions including deletion:

I have never used it myself.  You'll need to contact OAM support for details.
