Snapshot Retention Period (Days)

The snapshot data retention period in days to use for the BimlFlex database cleanup process.

The cleanup process removes metadata snapshots taken more than this many days ago. Snapshots whose type code is INT, PRM, or REL are never removed by the cleanup. A value that is not numeric is ignored, with a 90-day fallback when no usable value is found, and the period can be overridden when the cleanup is invoked.

When to Change This Setting

Increase it to keep restorable metadata snapshots for longer; decrease it to keep the BimlFlex database smaller.
