Retention Management when Archiving to EMC Centera
Retention Management when Archiving to EMC Centera
Use the informia.defaultArchiveAreaRetention property in the
conf.properties
file to set the default retention period for an archive area. Retention policies are enforced at the record or the transaction level.
You might need to change the default retention period for an archive area for certain Centera versions, such as
Compliance Edition Plus
. Some Centera versions do not allow you to delete a file if it is within an archive area that has indefinite retention. You cannot delete the file even if all records are eligible for expiration.
You can choose immediate expiration or indefinite retention. Specify the retention period in days, months, or years. The retention period determines when the files are eligible for deletion. The default retention period applies to any archive area that you create after you configure the property. When you create an archive area, the Data Vault Service uses the retention period that you configure in the properties file. The Data Vault Service enforces the record level policy based on the entity retention policy that you configure in Data Archive.
