Greetings!

Is there a retention period for BTs? or Do BTs get removed from controller database along with the historical data if no load or tarffic for a specific period?

Please advise

Thanks!

Hi  Sundarapandian,

There is a controller setting which defines the amount of time BT should be retained.

Default value of "business.transaction.retention.period" is 0 hours which means never delete the BTs.

If you set the value as  'X' , the BTs (having no load for X hours) should be deleted by the BT purger task.

Please refer to the attached screenshot for reference.

Thanks,

Atyuha

Atyuha,

The BT's which have no load only gets deleted? Is there way to remove historical data of active BT's from certain period?

Thanks,

Praveen
