Campaign Data
We have an application-level setting to delete the campaign data after a certain number of days in the marketing application.
The campaign data like batchout classes & batch reports get deleted after the number of days given in this setting (after the campaign ends).
Our client wants this information available forever. Do we have an option to have the campaign data forever?

@ROHEA Thank you so much for providing the information. Client is on Pega cloud.
Client want the ability to access the old resolved campaigns information.
Hi @SharmilaP5976
As you described Pega Marketing has a built-in mechanism to purge tables and classes for completed Campaigns after a configurable timeframe. This is done to prevent the continual growth of the database. Also, having a large volume of these tables has been known to contribute to issues upgrading to newer releases. As such, disabling this feature isn't recommended. Is your client's environment hosted on Pega Cloud or on-premise? Retaining the tables indefinitely is not supported in Pega Cloud environments.
Could you please explain why the client wants to keep the Campaign data indefinitely?
Please be aware that changes to this area of the product in future releases may prevent such a configuration completely.
If needed, information on configuring the ProcessPurging agent can be found here: https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/pega-marketing/pega-marketing-agents#Cleanup%20and%20data-mining%20agents
Thanks,
