Data retention policy

Data Administration can be used to delete Mesh log data when it becomes irrelevant over time. The administrator runs the retention policy to have Business Central delete outdated data in tables that contain log entries. When the retention policy is run, all records that have not been modified for two days or more are deleted.

The following Mesh tables support retention policies:

Table	Table ID	Purpose
MobileRequestLog220FDW	73167876	Stores RPC request and response logs generated when the Enable Request Logging toggle on the Mobile Setup page is turned on .
BCRPC220FDW	73167870	Stores temporary RPC transaction data used by the mobile app's API communication layer.
