Direct Archival to CA View

We recommend using direct archival to send reports directly to a CA View database. Using direct archival can reduce the need for the CA View archival task to use system resources to collect output from the JES spool, can allow bundle holding copies to be stored in CA View instead of JES, and can eliminate distribution of printed output when it is not needed.

Business Value:

Direct archival reduces the system I/O, CPU, and JES resources required for electronic distribution of reports and can reduce costs associated with printing and delivering output. It can also improve productivity by allowing users to view bundled reports online immediately, without having to wait for bundles to be collected from JES.

Additional Considerations:

The ARCH and ARCHnn initialization parameters are used with the ARCH parameter in CA Deliver Report Attributes panel to determine how reports are to be archived to different CA View databases.
