Setting the Retention Period for a Maintenance Object

Procedure

To set the retention period for a maintenance object:

Click the Admin link in the Application toolbar.
A list appears.
From the Admin menu, select M and then click Maintenance Object.
A sub-menu appears.
Click the Search option from the Maintenance Object sub-menu.
The Maintenance Object Search window appears.
Enter the required search criteria in the Maintenance Object Search window.

Note:
You must specify at least one search criterion while searching for a maintenance object.

ORMB search engine supports wildcard search, where you can substitute the percentage (%) symbol as a stand in for any word or letter in a search criteria. You can use the '%' wildcard character in all input fields except the date and ID fields. The '%' wildcard character is suffixed automatically at the end of the partial search criteria. Therefore, you may or may not specify the wildcard character at the end of the partial search criteria. However, you have to prefix the wildcard character manually wherever required.
Click the Search button corresponding to the field in which you have specified the criteria.
A list of maintenance objects that meet the search criteria appears in the search results.
Select the required maintenance object from the list.
The Maintenance Object screen appears.
Click the Options tab.
The Options tab appears.
Click the Add () icon corresponding to an option type.
A new row is added in the grid.
Select the ILM Retention Period In Days option from the Option Type list.
Enter the sequence number in the respective field.
Enter the number of days for which you want to retain the records, which are created using the business objects of the respective maintenance object, in the Option Value field.
Click Save.
The changes made to the maintenance object are saved.
