Retention period expiration (XAM + java sdk)
Hi,
Using the supplied java samples, I can see that once the retention period of an XSet is expired (xSystem.isXSetRetained(xuID); returns false) the retention is always enabled on the set:
Retained: false
EVENT RETENTION:
Duration: 600000 milliseconds Enabled: Yes
So if the management policy set is "AutoDelete=false", what happens to the set, the "Event retention" should not be cleared ?
What happens I we want to apply/create another "event" retention scheme ?
Regards,
David.

Yes - I answered this in your other forum post.

Thanks,
I have another question, is it possible to reset/renew retention once it have expired ?

Enabled means that the Retention has been set up and made "active". This is completely different from Retained, which means that it has a retention duration that has not yet expired. The enabled state has no relevance for an auto.delete property.
Be aware that while you may set auto.delete, it is not mandated by the XAM specification that the XSystem honours this request. Indeed, you should check if it is supported on the XSystem you use before you rely on this feature.
Centera does not support Auto Delete.
You can extend an existing retention by setting a new (longer) value and, assuming you have made the retention duration non-binding, the same XUID will be retained.
