Setting retention period for a particular XI interface

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have XI 3.0 system and there is an interface which pumps in huge amount of data into our XI system.We would like to retain the data for only four days and then delete it.I know that we can set retention/deletion period in SXMB_ADM->Define Interfaces for archiving and Retention Periods.However, i believe the settings would apply for all the interfaces globally.

My question is-

Is there any way to set retention period that applies only to an interface unaffecting retention/ deletion periods of other interfaces?If yes, what is the procedure to implement that?

Thanks,

Padmaja
