Hi Guna,

Archive/Unarchive Repository feature and Master Slave feature are both used as Backup and Transportation features in MDM.

There are some advantages and disadvatges of both.You can use any one of them based on your business requirement.

To know more on each refer the below link:

Hope It Helped

Hi guna,

Archive file act as backup file. It save your repository structure, data along with all the imports & export map. You can called it as compact form of repository.If someone want to duplicate the production server repository on quality server or development MDM server, repository on prod is archived & then unarchived on quality server.

Slave repositories are read only repositories. If business demands higher performance from your MDM server in that case you divert all read access to slave repository. If you want to maintain prod MDM server that case too you would direct all data traffic on slave server. Thus eventually you ensure your system would never remain out of service for any reason. Slaves need to be updated with their master this is called as synchronising of slaves.

Hi quna,

Archived repository are used for backups.

You create archieve of a repository which generates an .a2a file, which gets stored at the server level

You can regenerate a repository from an archieve file.

A slave repository is a read only copy of a master repositoy.

Once you make any changes to a master repository you need to synchronize the slave repository to maintain consistency across both the repositories.

To make a slave repository an editable, you need to normalize it.

Once you normalize a slave repository it starts behaving a normal stand alone repository.

Hope it helps.
