Creating a distributed archive service

You can use the New Archive Service wizard to create a distributed archive service.

An archive service copies a set of related rows from one or more tables and stores this data in an archive file. An archive service request defines the parameters for archiving and (if desired) deleting data from source tables, and saving that data to an archive file. An archive service request references an access definition to define the data to archive and the parameters needed to run the archive process.

A archive service requires an Optim™ logical data model to provide the source data.
To create an archive service:
  1. From the Data Project Explorer, right-click the Services folder and click New > Distributed Service > Distributed Archive. The New Archive Service wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must enter a name for the service and select an Optim data source, Optim logical data model, and data access plan.

    You must also provide a name for the archive file, specify options for the archive process, and select objects to archive.
