Product Notice: Eloqua Bulk API – New retention policy on unused definitions [May 2026]
Overview
With the arrival of Eloqua release 26B (May 2026), we will begin applying a new retention policy to Bulk API definitions that do not have an autoDeleteDuration set, were created at least one year ago, and have not been used in a sync for one year. This new retention policy will continue to be applied going forward from 26B.
What’s changing?
Currently, Bulk API definitions that do not have an autoDeleteDuration set are never removed.
Starting in 26B, and enforced in all future releases, retention will be applied to Bulk API definitions that do not have an autoDeleteDuration set, were created at least one year ago, and have not been used in a sync for one year. This retention policy will be implemented for all Bulk API definition types: export, import, and sync action.
