If no purge days are specified for an interface, which value is used?

When no specific purge days are defined for an interface, the system defaults to a standard value that is typically set to 30 days. This default is in place to ensure that data management is consistent and predictable across interfaces, helping to maintain an organized system.

Using a system-wide default like 30 days acts as a safeguard against data overload, ensuring that older messages do not accumulate indefinitely, which can lead to performance issues or difficulty in data retrieval. It helps in streamlining the process of data retention and purging, allowing organizations to efficiently manage their data lifecycle without needing to customize settings for each individual interface unless necessary.

This default also provides a baseline that can be adjusted if specific retention needs arise or if business requirements dictate a different retention policy for certain interfaces.
