In Oracle Global Human Resources Cloud, Journey Templates are used to create and manage employee journeys, such as onboarding or training programs, through theExploretab in the Journeys application. TheArchive After Monthsfield determines how long a journey remains active before it is archived, helping manage data lifecycle. The question asks about the behavior of this field when creating a journey from a template.
Option A: You can make the "Archive After Months" field optional.This option is incorrect. According to Oracle documentation, theArchive After Monthsfield is mandatory when configuring a Journey Template. This ensures that journeys are archived after a defined period, preventing indefinite retention and supporting data management policies. The field requires a numeric value (e.g., 6 months), and there is no option to make it optional during template creation in theExploretab.
Option B: You can enter duration for "Archive After Months" only after entering duration for the "Purge After Months" field.This option is incorrect. ThePurge After Monthsfield, which determines when a journey is permanently deleted after archiving, is separate fromArchive After Months. Oracle documentation specifies thatArchive After Monthsis a required field, and its value must be set independently ofPurge After Months. There is no dependency requiring the purge duration to be entered first. In fact,Purge After Monthsmay also be mandatory, but it does not gate the entry ofArchive After Months.
Option C: You cannot make the "Archive After Months" field optional.This is the correct answer. When creating a Journey Template via theExploretab, theArchive After Monthsfield is mandatory, as confirmed by Oracle’s 24C documentation.This field ensures that journeys are archived after a specified period (e.g., 12 months), aligning with data retention policies. The system enforces this requirement to maintain consistency and prevent journeys from remaining active indefinitely, and no configuration option exists to make it optional.
Why this answer?The mandatory nature of theArchive After Monthsfield supports Oracle’s design for lifecycle management of journeys, ensuring data is archived systematically. Neither making the field optional nor tying it toPurge After Monthsis supported, makingCthe only accurate statement.
