Disposition

Disposition is the automatic deletion of objects. Disposition can be enabled for:

Objects with expired retention periods. To be eligible for disposition, an object must have a retention setting that’s either:

oA date in the past

oA retention class with automatic deletion enabled that results in a calculated expiration date in the past

Objects flagged as replication collisions.

Disposition has the benefit of automatically freeing HCP storage space for the creation of more objects. Without disposition, users need to explicitly delete qualified objects to free the occupied space.

Disposition deletes only the current version of a versioned object. It does not delete old versions.

Disposition is enabled on a per-namespace basis. When you create a namespace, this feature is disabled. You can change this setting at any time.

For information on enabling and disabling disposition, see Changing disposition settings. For information on retention classes, see Working with retention classes. For information on objects flagged as replication collisions, see Object content collisions.

Note: HCP system-level administrators can enable or disable disposition for the repository as a whole. While disposition is disabled for the repository, enabling it for a namespace has no effect.
