Rolling window for Connection data retention

Note: Please contact Customer Care or your Adobe Account Team to have this setting implemented. It is not yet available via the Customer Journey Analytics UI.

Lets you define a Customer Journey Analytics data retention setting as a rolling window in months (3 months, 6 months, etc.), at a connection level (not at a dataset level). Data retention is based on event dataset timestamps and applies to event datasets only. No data retention setting exists for profile or lookup datasets since there are no applicable timestamps. The main benefit is that you store or report only on data that is applicable and useful and delete older data that is no longer useful. It helps you stay under your contract limits and reduces the risk of overage cost.
