You can use the New Archive Service wizard to create a z/OS® 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.
