17.4  Deployment considerations
Understanding the difference between Enhanced Retention Management and IBM Enterprise 
Records is critical to choosing the correct solution:
/SM590000Enhanced Retention Management provides for the lockdown of documents and prevents 
expiration.
/SM590000Enterprise Records declares documents as records that immediately become part of a 
corporate file plan. Enterprise Records notifies the Content Manager OnDemand 
repository when it reaches its event-based expiration. This action passes control to 
Content Manager OnDemand to delete the document unless Enhanced Retention 
Management is also enabled for the same document. If Enhanced Retention Management 
is also managing the document, it waits until the hold is released before the document is 
eligible for deletion.
When you use Enhanced Retention Management or Enterprise Records, Content Manager 
OnDemand must be in complete control of expiration processing. Therefore, if you use IBM 
Tivoli Storage Manager or object access method (OAM), you must disable the ability for either 
of these storage managers to expire data. Also, you can use Enhanced Retention 
Management and FileNet P8 Content Federation Services for Content Manager OnDemand 
only against application groups that have an expiration type of LOAD. For those application 
groups that have expiration types of DOCUMENT, SEGMENT, or STORAGE MANAGER, 
utilities are available to convert those application groups to LOAD. We recommend that you 
engage IBM Lab Services to provide these services.
