# ExpireTime

The number of hours that a document must have spent in this database before the Content component can expire it. You can expire documents on a schedule by using the Expire configuration parameter, or you can run a DREEXPIRE index action. When Content runs an expiration operation, it affects only eligible documents.

Set `ExpireTime` to `0` if you do not want documents to expire from this database.

You can expire individual documents (rather than all documents in a database) by configuring a property and setting ExpireDateType to `True`.

Type: | Long
Default: | 0
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Database`N`
Example: | `ExpireTime=48`
