Use this roadmap to guide you through the archive process with Optim™ on distributed platforms.
To archive data:
Use an access definition to define data to archive. When you create an access definition, you select the tables and columns to archive and define selection criteria for the data to archive. You can create an access definition for reuse, or create a local access definition when you create an archive request.
Use the archive request editor to define parameters for processing the archive request. These parameters include the archive file, archive index file, group name, access definition, row limit and delete preferences.
Use the archive request editor to run the archive process. The archive process selects a precisely defined set of related rows from a database and saves the rows to an external archive file.
