Archiving

[Former Member]

Hi,

I just want to check if my understanding of archiving in PI is correct.

Messages are marked for deletion or archiving when they are created . Thus old messages cannot be set to be archived later unless special jobs are run for that purpose.

I think a table would be a nice way to illustrate what happens to messages with archiving and deletion

Message flag | job for archiving | job for deleting

nothing | nothing happens| nothing happens

delete | nothing happens| delete if rentention passed

archive | archive | delete

Is my table correct ?

Do the delete jobs just delete all messages that are passed the retention period or only the messages that were created after the configuration was set.

Thanks

Yes it looks almost correct.

Message flag | job for archiving | job for deleting

nothing | nothing happens| nothing happens

delete | nothing happens| delete if rentention passed

archive | archive | delete after the retention period

Deletion job should delete older messages also.
