Setting the Number of Days Information is Retained in Transaction Register

About this task

Sterling B2B Integrator supports the use of a customer override (edit) property file to override default property settings in the property files. The customer override property file is not changed during installation of Sterling B2B Integrator or application upgrades or patches. To prevent having your customized settings overwritten, use overrides whenever possible rather than editing the actual property file.

If you have made changes to the property file, either directly or by editing the associated .in files in a previous version, your changes may be overwritten when a patch is applied. To prevent this, create a customer_overrides.properties file and reapply your modifications using overrides to the applicable property files in the customer_overrides.properties file. See each properties file for comments on each property in the file.

To set the number of days that information is retained in Transaction Register:

Note: This changes the retention period for all Transaction Register entries, not just the e-Invoice Compliance Solution entries.

Procedure

Create a customer_overrides.properties file.
Add the following line to the customer_overrides.properties file:
```
translator.mapper.maximumTransactionRegisterAge=[number_of_days_to_retain_info]
```
In this example, translator represents the translator.properties file where the original property is set, mapper represents the Sterling B2B Integrator Map Editor user interface, maximumTransactionRegisterAge represents the number of days that the Transaction Register will retain information before being purged, and [number_of_days_to_retain_info] is the actual number of days (for example, if you set this parameter equal to 30, the information is retained for 30 days).
