Short-term archiving. Archive events from the production database, which contains the main Data Exchange document store, to the history database, which stores the archived events and documents in an intermediate document store. You can view and search the archived events from the

Archived Events

page of the Operation Console. Use this method to archive events you need to easily access from B2B Data Exchange but take up too much space in the production database and reduce performance.

Long-term archiving. Archive events from the main Data Exchange repository or the intermediate repository to an optimized file store, which you can access only from Data Archive or with external viewing tools. Use this method for long term archiving of older events to which you no longer require ongoing access but you need to keep for legal or business compliance purposes.
