AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property sn_pa_designer.enableDataRetentionFeatures controls whether data retention features in Process Automation Designer and Playbooks are enabled. The default value is true, which activates both the UI Actions for manually archiving terminal sys_pd_context records and the scheduled script execution that automatically archives them according to the sn_pa_designer.data_retention_policy. Setting the property to false disables these archiving mechanisms, leaving all completed, cancelled, or skipped contexts and their logs in the system indefinitely unless manually removed. Disabling may be useful for debugging or audit retention but can lead to data accumulation and storage inefficiency. This property is typically configured in the context of system performance and governance, ensuring an appropriate balance between historical visibility and database management.
