Scheduling an Archive Job

After you create the archive project, you schedule an archive job that includes the archive project definitions.

You also schedule additional archive programs based on the archiving method that you use.

You can run the job immediately, at a later time, or as a recurring job.

On the

Schedule a Job

page, select the archive project that you want to run and add the program that you want to run.

For example, to schedule a short term archive job from the production database to the history database, add the

Oracle Production > History

program.

Choose additional standalone programs to run based on the archiving method that you use:

Option	Description
Create Indexes	Short term archiving. Generates indexes for the archived data. Enter the same the source and target connections as the main archive job.
File Archive Loader	Long term archiving. Loads the events to the file archive. Leave the Archive Job ID field empty.
Load External Attachments	Long term archiving. Loads documents that B2B Data Exchange passes by reference to the file archive. Enter values in the following fields: In the Directory parameter, enter the same value as the value for the Target Attachment Location property of the source connection. In the Target Archive Store parameter, enter the same value as the value of the Target Archive Store parameter in the main archive job. In the Purge After Load option, select Yes . If you run multiple Load External Attachments archive jobs in the same directory, the archive jobs might create duplicate files. To prevent duplicate files, configure source connections for different staging directories.
