  • Use the oci os retention-rule update command and required parameters to edit a retention rule for a bucket:

    For example:

    oci os retention-rule update --bucket-name MyBucket --retention-rule-id b1a6c84c-57c4-416c-b006-f864b0904c9e --time-amount 6 --time-unit years --time-rule-locked "2020-04-30 00:00"
    {
      "data": {
        "display-name": "RegulatoryCompliance",
        "duration": {
          "time-amount": 6,
          "time-unit": "YEARS"
        },
        "etag": "700ada5c-6a2a-4c6c-acb6-4ebb173e0f8f",
        "id": "b1a6c84c-57c4-416c-b006-f864b0904c9e",
        "time-created": "2020-03-25T15:11:44.423000+00:00",
        "time-modified": "2020-03-25T15:46:28.724000+00:00",
        "time-rule-locked": "2020-04-30T00:00:00+00:00"
      },
      "etag": "700ada5c-6a2a-4c6c-acb6-4ebb173e0f8f"
    }
