The Archive and Purge Processes

The following diagram illustrates the dependencies between the sample archive and purge processes. The frequency of running archive and purge processes are implementation specific. For more information on archive and purge processes, refer to Archiving and Purging and Archive Engine.

Archive and Purge Processes

Note:

Steps 2, 3 and 4. Note that steps 2 and 3 are the same for all of the sample archive and purge jobs. For step 4, you can select from two background processes: AR-DCDT moves data to a target archive environment (or purges the data) and AR-DCDTF calls an algorithm that copies the data to a flat file. If you want to use AR-DCDTF for other archive jobs, you must develop your own algorithms.
