VOLHISTORY Maintenance

In reference to the growth of the VOLHISTORY file due to the entries of the new volumes that are created weekly by the FILE-type STGs.

Weekly the VOLHISTORY file grows since every week new volumes are generated in the STG of file type, these volumes are saved in the VOLHISTORY file as type=STGNEW, some are later deleted and appear as STGDELETE and others are reused and appear as STGREUSE

When a Client wants to maintain the VOLHISTORY file, he can launch the command "Delete Volhistory TIPO=STGDLETE TODATE=TODAY-30" (for example), but this command removes the entries from all STGPOOLs and cannot be filtered by STG, which could cause the accidental deletion of entries that did not want to be deleted.

The inclusion of more filters is requested when executing the "Delete VOLHISTORY" Command, since currently it can only be controlled by date or by type (STGDELETE, STGREUSE, STGNEW), but it cannot be filtered by volume name or by STG name.

It would be interesting to be able to include it as soon as possible so that clients can control the growth of this file.
