User type: archivist

Retention and disposition policies determine the period of time that PIAs must remain on the platform (retention period) based on their values and ensure their corresponding disposition: total removal, partial removal (numerical sampling, selective emptying, sampling chronological, file deletion and metadata retention), permanent retention and transfer.

Retention means the period of time during which a certain PIA must be stored or archived on the platform.

By disposition , it is necessary to understand those processes associated with the determination of their fate, that is, which actions can happen on the date specified in the policy: the transfer, elimination or conservation of PIAs.

These retention and disposition policies allow the archivist to predetermine, in a manner congruent with current legislation on the management of archives and documents (Law 10/2001 and the TAAD), the conservation factors applicable to a certain PIA or set of PIA .

Political modification

Modifying a policy allows the archiver to modify some of the data in a policy.

Policy enable/disable

Enabling/disabling policies allows the archiver to start or stop a certain policy. Active policies create the corresponding tasks and operations, and inactive policies do not perform any actions, but their data can be queried.

Check executions

The executions and results query allows the archiver to see what the executions of the policy have been, sorted from most recent to oldest. To check which PIAs have been affected by the application of the policy, it is necessary to consult the action register.

The data displayed in the query for each of the policy executions is as follows:

  • Execution start time
  • Execution end time
  • Execution result. The possible states are:
    • correct
    • error
    • Running in progress
  • Number of packets affected or handled during execution

Political elimination

This option allows you to delete a policy.
