Archival and purge case exclusion
In below article
Its mentioned that
Trimming exclusions from the Log-Archival Summary report
Pega Platform keeps cases on exclusion for a default of 365 days. Once a case has been excluded for 365 days, it becomes available for archival and purge. If you need to increase or decrease the time for keeping cases excluded from archival, change the number of days in dynamic system settings.Pega Platform trims the metadata table for cases that are excluded for 365. Then, they will be removed from the table even if the case is still excluded. To see that excluded case in the table, keep the data in the table.
Is this statement talking about log-archival summary report or actual case itself. I am confused because ideally these content should be part of below link

Just to summarize the proposed solution
- Below content should not be part of Log-ArchivalSummary and instead should be part of Excluding Cases from archival and expunge

- The DSS setting mentioned above refers to dataarchival/exclusionPurgeAgeInDays
- There is no DSS setting dataarchival/exclusionPurgeAgeInDays presently shipped till pega 24.1 version and will be shipped in future release OOTB.
- For instances till pega 24.1 version we need to create in PegaRULES Owning Ruleset.
- Currently its defaulted to one year, from future versions of pega it will be defaulted to 5 years.

@SanthoshRanga, thanks for pointing this out! This needs following correction:
Trimming exclusions from pr_archival_excluded_case table
Pega Platform trims the metadata table,pr_archival_excluded_case, for cases that are excluded for 365. In other words, Pega Platform keeps cases on exclusion for a default of 365 days. Once a case has been excluded for 365 days, it becomes available for archival and purge. If you need to increase or decrease the time for keeping cases excluded from archival, change the number of days in dynamic system setting, dataarchival/exclusionPurgeAgeInDays.
I'm considering increasing this period to 5 years by default.
Please note this paragraph is not related directly with earlier paragraphs about Log-ArchivalSummary. cc: @kowak1

@SanthoshRanga It's not shipped out of the box, but is used in the platform code. Please create it in PegaRULES Owning Ruleset.
I'll add it as an OOTB shipped with default of 5 years from next release.
