Retention for the Atmos fixed content device

The Atmos fixed content device can operate in aligned or unaligned retention mode.

Retention in aligned mode

Retention is controlled by both the Content Platform Engine and the Atmos fixed content device. The following table compares the Content Platform Engine object retention setting for an object with the corresponding Atmos retention setting applied to the object content.
Content Platform Engine object retention setting Atmos object content retention setting
Not set The default retention of one minute is applied.
Permanent The retention period is set to a far future date. No user can change the retention type or delete the content without error.
Indefinite Indefinite retention is not supported.
Date value The retention setting is set to a specific date and time value within the minimum and maximum values that are allowed by the Atmos device. A request outside this range is rejected.

Retention in unaligned mode

Retention is enforced by the Content Platform Engine and is not applied to the Atmos device. Although the object retention setting on the Content Platform Engine can be set to any valid value, the retention setting for the corresponding object content is not changed on the fixed content device.
