"RetentionTimeInDays" of azure batch in Azure Data Factory

Question

What does "RetentionTimeInDays" mean of azure batch setting in Azure Data Factory? When I set this to 0, what will happen?

Answer 1

Hi @Chenghao Yang ,

In addition to what @Samy Abdul has mentioned, whenever we submit a job, the node to which it is submitted creates a working directory and keeps the related files over there for the execution of batch script..

Coming back to your question on mentioning 0 days what happens - the files get deleted on the same day of the process execution. It is not retained by the node.

Please let us know if that answers your question.

Thanks

Hi@Chenghao Yang , it is the retention time for the files submitted for custom activity. Default value is 30 day, you do not

required to define it as it is optional.
