10 years lifespan service

There is a 10 year lifespan for the mailbox messages and it's workflows and data entry related.

At the moment the way to clean this messages and all database entrys is creating a BP that deletes the messages and managing the associate bp to doc service.

This idea is to create a service that comes disabled as default but could be enabled by the customer, where the customer would set the lifespan for the messages/all related.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. I truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations and ideas.

    I need a little more information to understand your idea.

    Currently there is a multi-step purge process in B2Bi today - a Business Process that marks data as eligible for purge (associates docs to purge to the BP, sets an "archive" flag on the message) and a separate purge service that does the actual purge. The BP that marks data for archival/purge is configurable - including what is eligible for purge based on date. This BP is OOTB and by default runs daily to keep the system healthy.

    • What benefits would turning this BP into a service provide?

    • What sequence of events would you expect for an updated purge mechanism?

    • What kind of configuration are you expecting on an updated purge service? Is something missing from the BP we use today?

    • What should be enabled by default? What should be disabled by default?

    I'm looking forward to your response. Once I can develop a clear picture of your request, I'll be able to let you know if we can add your idea to our future offering roadmap.
