ARCHIVE

In order to perform archive processing, the user must explicitly instruct NDVRARCO to do so. The syntax for ARCHIVE is as follows:

►►────── ARChive ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────►

 ►────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────►
      └─ TO ───┬─ DATE is mm/dd/yy ──┬────────────────────┬───┤
               │                     └─ TIME is hh:mm:ss ─┘   │
               │                                              │ 
               └─ AGE is age ─────────────────────────────────┘

 ►────┬─ USEr ─────────────┬─────┬── is name ──┬────────────────── . ────────►◄
      ├─ CCId ─────────────┤     └── ALL ──────┘
      └─ MANagement-group ─┘

• The TO DATE value is used to specify the month, day, and year prior to which archive processing is to begin. This is followed by an optional TIME value, which defaults to 23:59:59 if not specified.
• The TO AGE value is used to specify the number of days prior to which archive processing is to be performed.

The USER/CCID/MANAGEMENT-GROUP clause specifies the name of the group to be archived.

• When specifying a management group, the user can either key in the word MANAGEMENT-GROUP in its entirety or use the MGR abbreviation.
• Quotes are used only if the name contains embedded special characters such as commas or blanks. It is important to note that when archiving change history that hasn't been booked to any user or CCID, it is specified as ' ' (quote-blank-quote), blank meaning no user or no CCID.
• When you specify USER, CCID, or MANAGEMENT GROUP IS ALL, all Change Log Entries qualifying under the TO DATE/AGE range will be archived.

If neither TO DATE nor TO AGE is specified, the system defaults to an age of 1 (day). NDVRARCO will not touch any Change Log Entry in the database that is less than 24 hours old.

You can specify up to 43 ARCHIVE commands per NDVRARCO run.
