In archive administration for request administration data, archiving runs are displayed. Here you can execute various functions for the archiving runs and the request administration in the archiving runs.

Features

The system displays administration information for the archiving run such as the archive name, status, date and time of the archiving run, and the user who performed it. In addition, the system shows, for each archiving run, the total number of requests with archived administration data in the archive, the number of requests that have not been reloaded, and the number of requests that have been reloaded. Equally, the total size of the archive is shown (in bytes) along with the size of the requests that have not been reloaded and the size of the requests that have been reloaded.

    The system loads the administration data for the selected archiving run, which has not been yet reloaded, back into the database. It writes the sum of this administration data to a new archive. The system creates the new reorganized archive and deletes data from the database automatically.
