• Key Concepts: 
  Retention policy is a feature of the SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) component of the SAP Business Suite. It allows users to define how long events should be stored in the system before they are automatically deleted. This helps to ensure that the system does not become overloaded with data and that only relevant information is kept.
  
  How to use it: 
  Retention policy can be configured in the ESP component of the SAP Business Suite. To do this, users must first define the retention period for each event type. This can be done by setting a specific time period or by setting a maximum number of events that can be stored in the system. Once this is done, users can then configure the system to automatically delete events that are older than the specified retention period.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring retention policy, it is important to consider how long events need to be stored in order to meet business requirements. It is also important to ensure that the system is not overloaded with data and that only relevant information is kept. Additionally, users should consider setting up alerts or notifications when events are about to expire so that they can take action if necessary.
