Data Archive helps you manage the data growth in production applications and data retirement in legacy and redundant applications.
When you use Data Archive to archive inactive or infrequently accessed data out of the production database, you can improve application response time and still comply with data retention policies. You can move data to a separate partition within the same database or to another database instance and keep data online for user access. You can also archive inactive data to a highly-compressed Data Vault that makes data available for search, query, and reporting.
The Data Archive installation involves the following installers:
Data Archive Installer
Use the Data Archive installer to install the components that extract and archive data from sources. The Data Archive components include a metadata repository and the Data Archive user interface. You can also use the Data Archive installer to install the Data Visualization option.
Data Vault Installer
To archive inactive data to the Data Vault, use the Data Vault installer to install the Data Vault components. The components include a Data Vault plug-in that adds Data Vault functionality to Data Archive. The plug-in enables Data Archive to load data into the Data Vault.
Application Accelerator Installer
Use the application accelerator installer to install pre-packaged metadata for business applications. Each application has a separate installer.
On Windows, you can run the installers in graphical or silent mode. On UNIX, you can run the installers in graphical, console, or silent mode. The silent mode installation uses a properties file to determine how to configure the installation options.
