Data Retention

The Data Virtuality Server supports data retention for web service data sources: all data sent and received by the Server is stored in a user-defined directory.

To turn data retention on, specify the directory for storing the exchanged web service information using the WS_DATA_RETENTION_PATH default option (if you want to turn it off, set the option to empty value).

What happens next is the following: for each individual call, a random dataRetentionId is generated, and two files are created in the directory:

• <dataRetentionId>.request where the URL, headers, and body information are stored;

• <dataRetentionId>.response where the response code, headers, and body are stored.

The WS_DATA_RETENTION_PATH directory also contains a special folder named processing to store the inputStreams being processed. When the data is processed, the file is moved into the directory and can be read and used.

Data retention is supported since v4.4
