Hi All,
I am creating Process Models, Process Metrics, Task Metrics Reports in the Appian.
and then I am fetchiing the data from the report in the process models and using it.
My query is what is the data retention period of those reports in Appian.
Like how old data it could have and how can we configure this. ?
and is it something manages by the APPIAN DB itself or managed by the organisation.
if by the organisation than where we can find that configuraiton..
Thanks

You can use the data management to set the retention of the process data: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.1/process-model-object.html#data-management-tab - the data will be available if the process has not been archived or deleted. As indicated in the documentation, you cannot also just let processes live for too long as it will consume memory on your instance.
If you need the process data for reports, you'll need to persist it in a database as Stefan has mentioned.
got it Mathieu, and yeah I am storing that data to the db.
and would you like to give any suggestion to implement it effectively.
Currently the way it works is , it's capturing the data from the report and storing the new enteries in the oracle. could there be any challenge that we might have to face in future with this approach ? Please consider me very new to appian.
Very hard to answer without having the full context. All I can say is that whatever information that you'll want to report on after your process is archived will need to be stored in the database.
yeah got it.. thanks alot buddy.
