Archiving Global Service

The archiving global service is responsible for marking Knowledge Management and Collaboration (KMC) archiving objects for archiving and for the archiving itself. It also takes care of the archiving approval process and the sending of the archiving-related notifications. The service is responsible for the read-only state of the objects waiting to be archived, thus preventing the objects from further modifications. The configuration of the service defines the currently active archiving store, the used archiving retention period management system and, if implemented, the pre-processing and post-processing systems that are to be used for the archiving process.
