Symptom
- Deleted documents are not being purged as defined on Retention Period for Purging Deleted Attachments.
- The feature Retention Period for Purging Deleted Attachments is missing on an instance
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to your instance
- Navigate to Company System and Logo Settings
- Unable to find the feature Retention Period for Purging Deleted Attachments
Cause
There was a limiation with the feature and it was disabled due to that inconsistency of attachment 'marked for deletion' status, i.e. Some 'marked for deletion' attachments are mis-marked and not intended for permanent delete.
Resolution
Our engineering team permanetely removed this feature in 2020 and has been confirmed it will not be re-introduced
If you aren't satisfied with the current behaviour, I would encourage you to open an enhancement request with our PM team. Details on how to do this can be found in KBA ##2090228 - How to submit enhancement requests for SAP SuccessFactors products
