In the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, the data retention period specifies how long temporary migration data is retained in the system after the migration process is completed. You set this retention period when the project status isFinished. At this stage, all migration activities are complete, and you can define how long the system should keep the temporary data before it is automatically deleted.
Option A: When the project status is In Progress
This option is incorrect. While the project is in progress, migration activities are ongoing, and setting the data retention period at this stage is premature.
Option B: When the project status is Not Started
This option is incorrect. Before the project starts, it's too early to define the data retention period, as migration tasks have not yet commenced.
Option D: When the project status is Completed
This option is incorrect. The correct status for setting the data retention period is "Finished," not "Completed."
In summary, you specify the data retention period in the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit when the project status isFinished, ensuring that temporary migration data is retained for an appropriate duration after migration activities are concluded.
