i created a GDG with 5 versions. Now i did a ALTER to increase the number of versions to 30. But still i am not able to see more than 5 versions. Can someone help.

Please see parameteres Limit: and Number of associated objects in the below display from Insync.

No, You created a GDG with 5 GENERATIONS. Versions are different.

If generations older than 5 have rolled out of the catalog, you must recatalog them now that the index is changed to 30.

Hi Bill, Do you mean that i should drop the GDG base and re-create it? Doesnt it work like, when i did ALTER to change the number of versions from 5 to 30 and i try to create a 6th generation, the 1st generation remains cataloged still?

Did i make my question clear?

1) Please read the previous post from Bill, and start to use the correct terminology.

2) Please try this for yourself, set up a dummy GDG base, add 5 generations then alter the base and create the next generation and see what happens.
