SetDocumentRetention API

Obsolete since infoRouter 8.1.155. This API always returns an error and must not be used in new integrations. Use SetDocumentRandDSchedule to manage document retention.

Sets the retention period of the specified document. This method was used to mark a document as having no retention, permanent retention, or retention until a specified date. As of version 8.1.155, the API is disabled — every call returns an error regardless of the parameters supplied. All retention management is now handled through the Retention & Disposition schedule system.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/SetDocumentRetention

Methods

GET /srv.asmx/SetDocumentRetention?authenticationTicket=...&path=...&retentionStatus=...&retainUntil=...
POST /srv.asmx/SetDocumentRetention (form data)
SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/SetDocumentRetention

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`authenticationTicket`	string	Yes	Authentication ticket obtained from `AuthenticateUser`.
`path`	string	Yes	Full infoRouter path to the document (e.g. `/Finance/Reports/Q1-Report.pdf`).
`retentionStatus`	short (int16)	Yes	Retention mode. Valid values: `0` = No Retention, `1` = Forever, `2` = Until Specified Date.

Notes

This API has been disabled since infoRouter 8.1.155. The implementation returns an error immediately without performing any operation.
Do not use this API in any new or existing integration. Migrate to SetDocumentRandDSchedule, which applies a named Retention & Disposition schedule to a document.
The original retention model (NoRetention / Forever / Until Date) has been superseded by the more flexible R&D schedule system.

SetDocumentRandDSchedule - Assign a Retention & Disposition schedule to a document (replacement for this API)
GetDocumentRandDSchedule - Get the current R&D schedule assigned to a document
RemoveDocumentRandDSchedule - Remove the R&D schedule from a document
GetRandDSchedules - List all defined R&D schedule definitions
