Fields

Field

Description

Archive Pool Name

Identifying name (max. 8 characters; the first character must be alphabetic)

The combination of archive pool name and owner must be unique.

Archive Ret. Pd.

Archive retention period in days

Note: To ensure that there is only one best-matching archive pool for each list, the combination of archive medium, archive retention period, and owner must be unique. If several archive pools have the same owner and archive medium, these archive pools must have different archive retention periods.

Archive Media Name

Legal values are:

  • Tape
  • Disk (DASD)
  • Odisk (optical disk)
  • Ctera (Centera)

Archive Pool Owner

The owner is used for security and archiving.

Security: The owner is passed to the security exit and can be used for defining security profiles (optional; max. 8 characters).

Archiving: To be assigned to an archive pool, the owner of the pool definition and the owner of the list definition must be identical.

Archive Pool Title

Descriptive title (max. 50 characters)

Calculate Expiration Date by Start Date

Controls the basis on which the calculation of the archive expiration date takes place:

No

Date of the archive run (default)

Yes

Next date according to your input in the Start Date field

Start Date

Start date for the calculation of the archive expiration date (day and month according to your date mask)

Example:

  • Date of the archive run = 2018-10-29
  • Start Date = 01-01
  • Calculate Expiration Date by Start Date = Yes
  • Archive Ret. Pd. = 365 days

Result: Archive Expiration Date = 2019-12-31

Order for Reload

Determines the order in which the subpools of this archive pool are accessed when data is reloaded

The default value for this field is ASIS (as is), which means that the entry in the Order for Reload field in the subpool definition determines the reload order. To change the default reload order, enter a numeric value between 1 and 99 to direct all reload requests to the subpool whose reload order corresponds to this value. For more information, see "Example: Overriding default order for reload".
