To keep down the archive file size and job running time, is it good to run the jobs every night, and set the retention periods so you have the messages for so long as needed?

Hi,

Every night?

It's not like that , it depends on the database full and to over come that & inorder to make the DB as free, we will do these works

Hi there,

Its not a good idea to do everynight as if user want to check the job details and spools we have to maintian certain period ..it all depends on the requirement.

Shouldnt the jobs run regulary to keep the DB in a healthy status?

And if the jobs run every night, with retention period set to 14 days, it will archive small amounts of messages every night and run smooth, instead of prosessing a lot of messages every 14 days..

Hi,

Yeah, this also you can do it, but Old data will be vanished from the database if we do like this.

As i told you early, this all depends on the requirement , this is not that much problamatic one

Hi Rune,

We can say YES, if it is Application data (Logs, Spool List or IDOC) after initial implementation we have to schedule archiving jobs to maintain both archiving strategies/policies and database growth.

Please let me know if you are concern for specific archiving objects?

It is regarding archiving of XML-messages on the XI system.

Yes, XI messages can be archive daily.
