Where do you specify the data retention period in the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit?

Question

Options

• AIn the staging tables
• BIn the migration project settings
• CIn the migration object
• DIn the migration object template

• B
  8% (1)
• D
  92% (12)

Explanation

In the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, the data retention period is configured in the migration object template (D), which serves as the blueprint defining structural and behavioral settings - including how long migrated data is retained - before a migration object is generated from it.

• A (Staging tables) is wrong because staging tables are runtime storage structures that hold data temporarily during the migration process; they don't store configuration settings.
• B (Migration project settings) covers high-level project parameters (like project name, approach, and system connection), not object-level data retention behavior.
• C (Migration object) is the instantiated, runnable artifact derived from the template - it inherits settings but is not where you originally specify retention configuration.

Memory tip: Think "template = policy, object = execution." Just as a contract template defines terms (including expiry/retention), the migration object template defines retention - the migration object just carries it out.
