A disposition schedule specifies a retention period and a disposal action that needs to be performed on an entity.
In a disposition schedule, the retention period refers to the time span for which an entity should be retained by the system. At the end of this period, the specified disposal action is performed on the entity. The disposal actions can include export, transfer, destroy, and interim transfer. The RM API provides a framework for defining a disposition schedule for IBM® Enterprise Records entities. Using the RM API, you can associate a disposition schedule with a record category, record folder, or record type.
