Updating retention with a sweep policy

You can create a sweep policy to update object retention.

Procedure

To create a retention update policy:

  1. Select and copy a reference to the class of objects that are to be targeted by the sweep:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, select the Data Design > Classes > specific class folder. Click the class, go to Action, and select Copy Object Reference.
  2. In the object store navigation pane, select the Sweep Management > Sweep Policies > Retention Update Policies folder. On the Retention Update Policies tab, click New.
  3. Optional: Select the Enabled property to enable the sweep to run.
    Note: Some sweep properties cannot be set in the wizard; they can only be set in the sweep object after it is created. Time slots and FilteredQueryTimeout are two such properties. If you need to change default values of properties that are not available in the wizard, disable the sweep in the wizard. You can enable the sweep later, after you change default property values in the sweep object.
  4. Complete the wizard. In the wizard step where you specify the target class, click Paste Object.
