release
Explicitly releases a migrated file, leaving a stub file on the file server.
Synopsis
FMACLI rel[ease]
[file]
Description
The release command gains space on a managed volume by converting already migrated files to stub files. If the command detects that not enough archived copies exist, the release operation is not performed. For releasing a file both retention times (crt and rrt) and the number of copies (mc) must be fulfilled.
A file smaller than 1024 bytes are not released because replacing it with a stub file does not increase available space on the file server.
Note Excluded files are excluded from statistical summaries.
Also, if a file was released and migrated to multiple archives, it is restored from the last archive to which it was migrated when recalled.
