In the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, the data retention period is specified when the project status is marked as"Finished."This ensures that all migration data is retained for a defined period after the migration project is completed, allowing for audits or troubleshooting if needed. Below is an explanation:
* When the project status is "Finished" (B):Once the migration project is completed and marked as
"Finished," the system prompts you to define the data retention period. This step ensures compliance with data governance policies and allows for potential re-use of migration objects in future projects.
* When the project status is "Completed" (A):The "Completed" status typically indicates that the migration process has been executed but does not trigger the data retention configuration.
* When the project status is "In Progress" (C):During the "In Progress" phase, the focus is on uploading, validating, and migrating data, not on defining retention periods.
* When the project status is "Not Started" (D):At this stage, the migration project has not yet begun, so retention settings are irrelevant.
