Multiple conditions in <WHEN> clauses of RELOCATE and DELETE statements
Prev	Multiple criteria in file placement policy rule statements	Next

The <WHEN> clause in RELOCATE and DELETE statements may include multiple relocation criteria. Any or all of <ACCAGE>, <MODAGE>, <SIZE>, and <IOTEMP> can be specified. When multiple conditions are specified, all must be satisfied in order for a selected file to qualify for relocation or deletion.

In the following example, a selected file would have to be both inactive, that is, not accessed, for more than 30 days and larger than 100 megabytes to be eligible for relocation or deletion:

 <WHEN>
   <ACCAGE Units="days">
     <MIN Flags="gt">30</MIN>
   </ACCAGE>
   <SIZE Units="MB">
     <MIN Flags="gt">100</MIN>
   </SIZE>
 </WHEN>

You cannot write rules to relocate or delete a single designated set of files if the files meet one of two or more relocation or deletion criteria.
