Symptoms
When configuring or editing a Cloud Tier Data Movement policy, changing the Age Threshold, Older value to zero results in the following:
Negative Age threshold values not allowed
Cause
The product is working as designed:
-
This parameter cannot be changed to zero days
-
The use of zero in the context of retention or age tags would mean "no end date" and the data would never expire.
-
Resolution
The minimal required and supported age-threshold "Older" value for Cloud Tier is 14 days.
Change this value to 14 days or more.
