Configuration

The following options are available in the Archiving agent configuration:

SettingDescription

Profile

Name of the Archive profile to be used when determining the attributes of the target files. 

Input Type

The agent can act on two input types: bytearray or MultiForwardingUDR. The default input type is bytearray. If nothing else is stated, the documentation refers to input of type bytearray.

For more information, see MultiForwardingUDR(3.0).

For examples see Archiving Agents MultiForwardingUDR Examples(4.3).

Compression

Compression type of the target files. Determines if the agent will compress the files before storage or not.

  • No Compression - the agent will not compress the files.

  • Gzip - the agent will compress the files using gzip.

    Note!

    No extra extension will be appended to the target filenames, even if compression is selected. The configuration of the filenames is managed in the  Filename Template  tab, only.


Agent Directory Name

Possibility to select one or more MIM resources to be used when naming a sub-directory in which the archived files will be stored. If more than one MIM resource is selected, the values making up the directory name will automatically be separated with a dot.

Note!

If at least one  Agent Directory Name is selected in  Directory Templates in the  Archive profile , this directory field is used.

Logged MIM Data

MIM values to be logged as meta data along with the file. This is used for identification of the files.

Produce Empty Files

If enabled, files are produced although containing no data.

Note!

The names of the created files are determined by the settings in the Filename Template tab.
