In SnapCenter's Archive log management for Creator Plug-ins (HANA. DB2, etc.) point 6c the usage of ARCHIV_LOG_EXT is completely misinterpreted #217

Summary
The ARCHIVE_LOG_EXT takes a regular expression that should match a file name extension of the log files.
It is not used to indicate the LENGTH of the extension, but the actual text of the extension !
Since, in HANA in this case, the logs looks like this: log_backup_0_0_0_0.1765902954686 the regular expression has to match a number of digits (not .log for example), hence the proper value to use would be "\d+", i.e. any length of digits of at least one character.
This is the equivalent of [0-9]+ from:
https://kb.netapp.com/data-mgmt/SnapCenter/SC_KBs/SAP_HANA_backup_archive_logs_are_not_getting_cleaned_at_all_disregarding_the_retention_policy_in_SnapCenter
but won't work here anymore due to the malicious scripting check (I need to/will update that KB accordingly, shortly).
For databases or archive log setups that do not have a dot in the filename, this won't work at all, by the way.
