Message Storage Settings

Message storage settings enable you to determine how much message data your channel will store, whether to encrypt content, and whether to automatically delete content after messages are finished processing.

This section of the Summary Tab enables you to determine how much message data your channel will store, whether to encrypt content, and whether to automatically delete content after messages are finished processing. Changing these settings may affect the availability of certain features, like queuing.

Item	Name	Description
A	Storage Slider	Use this slider bar to change how much data to store as messages process through the channel. The options are: Development: All data will be stored. Production: Everything except Processed Raw, Transformed, Response Transformed, and Processed Response content will be stored. Raw: Only Raw / Source Map content and attachments will be stored. Destination queuing is not supported in this mode, but source queuing is still supported. Metadata: No message content or attachments will be stored, only metadata (for additional information, see About Message Data) . Source and destination queuing are not supported in this mode. Disabled: No message metadata, content, or attachments will be stored. Source and destination queuing are not supported in this mode.
B	Content	Shows what message content will be stored for the currently selected storage settings.
C	Metadata	Shows what message metadata will be stored for the currently selected storage settings. Includes custom metadata columns.
D	Durable Message Delivery	Shows whether Durable Message Delivery is currently enabled based on the selected message storage settings. If enabled, unfinished messages will automatically be recovered and processed if the channel is halted, or if the server suddenly goes down for any reason. If set to Reprocess only, unfinished messages will not be automatically reprocessed, but you still have the option of manually reprocessing them from the message browser.
E	Performance	Shows a relative estimation of performance for each storage option. When storage is Disabled, performance is highest, at the cost of not having durable message delivery, or the ability to view messages in the message browser.
F	Encrypt	Message content: If enabled, content stored in the database will be encrypted. Messages that are stored while this option is enabled will still be viewable in the message browser, but the content will not be searchable. Attachments: Encrypt message attachments that are stored in the database. Attachments that are stored while this option is enabled will still be viewable in the message browser. Custom metadata: Encrypt custom metadata columns that are stored in the database. Custom metadata values that are stored while this option is enabled will still be viewable in the message browser, but the metadata will not be searchable. This will only apply to STRING type custom metadata columns.
G	Remove content on completion	Removes message content after the message has completed processing. Not applicable for messages that are errored or queued. If Filtered only is also checked, only content for filtered connector messages will be removed.
H	Remove attachments on completion	Removes message attachments after the message has completed processing. Not applicable for messages that are errored or queued.
