False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

name

string

Specifies the EBR policy name

retention_period

string

Specifies the retention period of an EBR policy. The retention period value represents a duration and must be specified in the ISO-8601 duration format. The retention period can be in years, months, days, hours or minutes. A period specified for years, months and days is represented in the ISO-8601 format as "PY", "PM", "PD" respectively. For example "P10Y" represents a duration of 10 years. Similarly, a duration in hours, minutes is represented by "PTH", "PTM" respectively. The period string must contain only a single time element i.e. either years, months, days, hours or minutes. A duration which combines different periods is not supported, example "P1Y10M" is not supported. Apart from the duration specified in the ISO-8601 format, the retention period field also accepts the string "infinite".
