View the retention policy failures

An administrator can view the retention policy failures (if any) that occur when the Retention Policy system task runs.

The Retention Policy system task marks items for deletion for which the retention period and number of versions have exceeded the defined limit, and then deletes those items. This task executes once every seven days by default; you can set the minimum interval to one hour in TotalAgility Designer. If the item that the system task tries to delete is not deleted, the item is recorded in the Retention Policy Failures table. Failures are cleared automatically when the system task executes the next time.

See "Retention policy" in Tungsten TotalAgility Designer Help.

The Retention Policy Failures page displays the failures with the following details:

  • Date: Date on which the retention policy failure occurred.
  • Description and Reason for failure

  1. On the Administration menu, click Retention Policy Failures.

    The Retention Policy Failures page displays all the failures.

  2. To display the retention policy failures grouped by type, on the Type list, select a type, such as Delete Business Process Failed, and click Search.
    The failures based on the selected type are displayed.
