  Key Concepts: 
  A time-based retention policy is a feature of the SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) component of the SAP Business Suite. It allows users to define a specific period of time for which data should be retained in the system. This policy helps to ensure that only relevant data is stored in the system, and that any data that is no longer needed is automatically deleted. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the time-based retention policy, users must first define the period of time for which data should be retained. This can be done by setting a start date and an end date for the policy. Once this is done, any data that is older than the specified end date will be automatically deleted from the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a time-based retention policy, it is important to consider how long data needs to be retained in order to meet business requirements. It is also important to ensure that any data that needs to be kept for longer than the specified period is backed up in an external storage system.
