Setup

Setting up the archiving process involves the following preparatory tasks, performed by a database administrator:

1. Choosing an archiving database mode such as SCHEMA. See Datasources.
2. Setting up the database application. See Configuring Access Privileges - On-premise deployments only.
3. Configuring the registry parameters. See Configuring Registry Parameters.

Once the Database Administrator has completed these steps, the system administrator must perform the next required steps:

1. Creating Archive Policies - You can create and reuse policies to archive or purge data. A common example is the frequent maintenance of payroll data. See Archiving Policies.
2. Running Scheduled Jobs for Archiving - Data is archived or purged as described in the policy definitions. See Scheduling archiving jobs.
