RETENTION PERIOD
The value of this field determines the number of days routed image files are stored at
this destination. A typical value is five days.
Whenever a transmission processor connects to a destination, it checks whether or not
it has executed a purge for that destination on that day. If the connection in question is
the first of the day and no purge has been executed yet, a purge will be initiated.
During a purge, any image files older than the number of days specified by
RETENTION PERIOD
are deleted (note that files are always retained at the sending
site).
LAST PURGE DATE
The value of this field is set by the transmission processor when it executes a purge.
