| As far as retention value in 'sys.sp_cdc_change_job' is shown as number of minutes. you can calculate it accordingly.Data from Microsoft Technet Document:-------------------------------------[ @retention ] =retentionNumber of minutes that change rows are to be retained in change tables. retention is bigint with a default of NULL, which indicates no change for this parameter. The maximum value is 52494800 (100 years). If specified, the value must be a positive integer.retention is valid only for cleanup jobs.For your script it could be like this:EXECUTE sys.sp_cdc_change_job@job_type = N'cleanup',@retention =525600;And you can see this changes in 'msdb.dbo.cdc_jobs'-Johnson |
