How data manager archiving property is used in conjunction with archiving and deletion policies?

[Alexander Versh]

Dear Community Gurus,

Can anyone tell the correlation between this property glide.cmdb.data_manager.default_archive_time

and individual archiving policies and deletion policies?

How and when that property is evaluated or used in combination with those two types of policies?

Does that property evaluated when archiving and termination rules are triggered?

The system property is used as a default and applied if the retention time value is set to zero. The retention time specified in a policy will override the system property.

Note that this system property is only applicable to Archive policies and operations in Data Manager. Deletion policies do not use retention times.
