SettingDescription

Switch Policy

If several base directories are configured, the switch policy determines for how long the Archive services will populate each base directory before starting to populate the next one (daily, weekly, or monthly). After the last base directory has been populated, the archiving wraps to the first directory again.

Base Directory

One or several base directories that can be used for archiving of files. For considerable amounts of data to be archived, several base directories located on different disk partitions might be needed.

Directory Template

List of tokens that, in run-time, builds subdirectory names appended to one of the base directories. The tokens could be either special tokens or user defined values. Subdirectories on any level, can be constructed by using the special token Directory delimiter. See the section below, Directory Template.

Remove Entries (days)

If enabled, files older than the entered value will be deleted from the archive. Depending on the agent using the profile, the removal will occur differently.
 

Note

The days that user can define will just be between 1 to 365 days only. Any days more than that will not be supported.

  • For the Local Archiving agent the cleanup of outdated files is mastered by the workflow. It removes the file from its archive directory in the initialize block.

    Note

    The files are removed recursively. For this reason, it is not recommended to use a base directory that is located within another Archive profile's base directory.

    If you use the Local Archiving agent with the Inter Workflow collection agent, you can only enable a cleanup of outdated files by selecting the Deactivate on Idle check box in the Inter Workflow agent configuration dialog.

    For the Archiving agent the cleanup of outdated files is performed by the Archive Cleaner task. It removes the references in, as well as the files itself from its archive directory. Consequently, the data storage is also dependent on the setup of the task scheduling criteria.

Keep Files

Files will not be deleted.

If Keep Files and Remove Entries (days) are combined, only references in the database are removed while the files remain on disk. (not valid for the Local Archiving agent).
