Introduction Using Archive and Restore
Gentran:Server for Windows – November 2005 Gentran:Server for Windows User’s Guide
10 - 2
Introduction
In this chapter This chapter explains how to use the interactive archive and restore feature of
Gentran:Server.
Archive feature The Archive feature provides a record of past interchanges (inbound and
outbound), application data, and mailbox messages. This enables you to produce
an offline archive data file of interchanges, external data, or mailbox messages
with stored parameters (archive definitions) that you define. This archive data file
can be stored long-term.
You can also use Gentran:Server Process Control to purge and archive data at
predefined intervals.
Reference
See Using Process Control, chapter 11 in this guide, for more information about
scheduling unattended archive sessions.
Restore feature The Restore feature enables you to reprocess archived data through
Gentran:Server. This feature copies data from an archive data file back to the
active system. For restored interchanges, you can then view the data in the
Restored Interchange browser and reprocess it, if necessary.
When to use
archive
We recommend that you archive your system data on a weekly basis. Using this
feature is critical in large volume operations.
