How do I test retention using the Basic test server.
I am using test server 168.159.214.14 using pea file user1.pea.
I am creating an xset
setting xset base retention to 864000000ms (1day)
the field ".xset.retention.base.duration" is returning as 864000000
I am streaming in my file.
Xset gets commited with no errors.
I can still delete this xset using.
XSystem_DeleteXSet at any time.
Am i mistaken in believing that I shouldn't be able to delete it because the retention is set.
Is it because I am explicitly telling the Xsystem to delete the xset, or could it be because the server type is Basic as oppose to GE.
Also is there a good way to test to make sure that my retention is being recognized and keeping file from being deleted (XSet_GetActualRetentionEnabled("base") is returning true)?
Thanks!
George

The system you are using is in Basic mode so although it allows you to add retention periods to your XSet it will ignore it when a delete occurs

Thanks for the info!
Do you know if emc is planning on setting up test servers in GE mode any time soon?
