This section covers the following topics:

## Archiving Task

The automatic archiving defaults start archiving automatically. However, with the function Start Archiving Task you can also start it manually.

To start the archiving task manually:

1. Select an instance of the System Administration > Archiving Task node in the object workspace.

2. Invoke the context menu and choose Start.

   A window is displayed, showing the scheduled date and time, and input fields for you to specify a different date and time.

3. These input fields contain the present date and time. To reschedule the task, overwrite these values.

   All Reports marked for archiving are written to the archiving medium.

   Note:
   If the report to be archived is in use, for example, if it is in the printout queue or in an open bundle, then it is not archived at this time, but only when printing is finished or the bundle closed and the next archiving session has begun.

For further information on archiving, see Automatic Archiving Defaults and Archive Administration.

## Reviving Task

To start the reviving task:

2. Invoke the context menu and choose Start.

   A window is displayed, showing the scheduled date and time, and input fields for you to specify a different date and time.

3. These input fields contain the present date and time. To reschedule the task, overwrite these values.

   All reports marked for reviving appear on the Active Reports screen.
