No more than 256 files will be transferred to the server between each database commit point. 16. A user's set of files were initially archived using a special management class. Later, that management class was deleted. When the next archive is done, which parameter does IBM Tivoli Storage Manager use to determine the retention of newly archived files? A. The default policy set value. B. The domain setting for archive retention grace period. C. The archive copygroup retention specified in the default management class. D. The backup retention grace period specified in the default management class. Copyright 2002 Tivoli Software, IBM Corporation, Rev 3a - 4 of 4 -
