Configuring Data Retention and Data Purge Policies

started a topic 28 days ago

Hello All,

I have a quick question regarding data retention policies and purge jobs for Semarchy xDM data hubs. Master History(MH_) and Golden History(GH_) tables make up most of the top 20 objects in our Semarchy database environments. Our data models currently have no data retention policies. We have also grown the number of our Semarchy xDM non-prod environments in recent months. I'm just looking for ideas on how to trim the storage footprint of our non-prod environments after running a refresh from the production environment. I would probably leave our QA environment alone, but I'm thinking about setting a minimal data retention policy in our other non-production environments and scheduling purges to reduce the size of the data hub history tables. I would be interested in hearing about any other ways to slim down our lower Semarchy xDM environments after refreshing from the production environment.

Regards,

Joe Patton

Hello Joe,

If you need to have exactly the same set of data for this lower environment as the PRD, then indeed purge seems to be the way to go.

It would help you regain a bit of space, without compromising the master and golden data scope.

If you require more information or have further questions on this concept, please let me know.

Otherwise, I'm leaving here some documentation for reference:

Are you looking only at data location perspective? Or repository as well?

BR,

Alexia
