Hi,
I was wondering if there is a parameter to extend the time for which the messages below MMSCDATA are stored in the platform. Nowadays it´s 1 month. How could this be changed up to 6 months?
Thank´s

Hi,

Under the [MMSC] section of MMSC.INI, you can add a parameter:

DataRetainDays=xxx

Where xxx, is the number of days that messages should be retained. The default is 30 days. Note that this setting has not been tested for values exceeding one year, but a value of 180 days (appox 6 months) should be fine.
