The given key was not present in the dictionary. when trying to run a retention job. I'm unsure what that means or where to go next. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Can you elaborate on the steps you performed exactly before you get this error? Have you also followed all steps and do you meet the prerequisite requirements as listed in the documentation?

Hi André,

Sure

1. Support partner enabled license key

2. Updated Finance and operations virtual entity

3. Updated Dynamics 365 finance and operations platform tools

4. Installed Dynamics 365 Archive with Dataverse long term retention

5. Set the environment to be a managed environment

6. Enabled Archive with Dataverse long term retention in feature management

7. Refreshed on General ledger within the Archive workspace

8. Created a retention job on a legal entity marked "Ready" within General ledger

9. Received error

Although I received the error, a job seems to have been created

But as of yet I cannot see any history data

Hi Michael,

As a job has been created, please check if all is working OK. I have used the feature where I didn't have this error in my environment.

Hello Everyone,

I'm working on archiving data using Dataverse long-term retention. I've completed all the prerequisites and setup, and I've scheduled the archival job for inventory transactions. However, the job is stuck in the 'Pending move to history' state. Can someone please guide me on how to proceed?
