Can I create Custom lifecycle for Retention Policy
Hi,
For creation of retention policy, there are 6 default retention policy lifecycles as 1 Phase + Final, 2 Phase + final, 3 Phase + final... and 6 Phase + final.
Can I create my own custom lifecycle which I can use for creation of retention policy and write some custom methods for lifecycle?
Thanks,
Smita

I dont believe so. What requirements do you have that cannot be addressed by 6 Phases that is provided by out of the box? Keep in mind RPS is designed for after a document has been through "active" lifecycle and is essence in a steady state. If can create custom lifecycle for normal/active content management that have nothing to do with RPS.

Requirement is as below:
Document is going through 2 phases. First phase is completed in 15 days. After 15 days based on business scenario, either document will be eligible for disposition or will retain 7 years. When first time document gets ingested, I can not determine whether to retain 15 days or 7 years. To achieve this, need retention policy with custom lifecycle method.
Please suggest how can we achieve this?
Thanks,
Smita

This is how I would implement this. Create two retention policies: 15 days and 7 yrs. Automatically apply 15 day retention policy to the document. When determination of 15 day/7yrs is made (maybe based on attribute value), if its 7 yr retention, then apply the 7 yr retention on the document. The key is - a document can have multiple retention policies associated with it. Even though 15 days has passed, the 7 yr retention would not been completed, so the document cannot be disposed off.
BTW - you may get better/faster responses if you post to Documentum Support Forums:
