Setting the Archive and Deletion Criteria
*To set the archive and deletion criteria
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B > Archive Schedules.
2. Do one of the following:
a. To create the schedule by providing new information, click Add Schedule.
b. To create the schedule by copying an existing schedule and modifying it, click the copy icon in the row for the schedule to copy.
3. On the Archive Schedule Details page, provide a name and description for the schedule, and indicate whether to enable or disable the schedule. Do not enable the schedule until you are done creating it.
4. Click the Schedule Options tab and complete these fields.
The following table describes the fields:
Field
Description
Action Type
Whether to schedule archive or deletion.
Datasource
If you chose to schedule deletion, whether to delete from the production tables, the archive tables, or both.
Days
Number of days to retain documents. Trading Networks archives or deletes documents that are older than the number of days you specify.
Batch Size
Maximum number of documents to archive or delete in each batch. The default is 100 documents.
If you want to change the default, update the tn.archive.batchSizeproperty.
Wait Time
Number of seconds to wait between two batches of archive or deletion during one scheduled execution. The default time is 15 seconds.
If you want to change the default, update the tn.archive.batchBackoffTime property.
Maximum Transactions Per Schedule
Maximum number of documents to archive or delete during one scheduled execution. This value must be greater than or equal to Batch Size.
For example, if you set the Batch Size to 50 and the Maximum Transactions Per Schedule to 1000, Trading Networks performs the archive or deletion task 20 times during that scheduled execution.
When the total number of documents for archive or deletion is greater than the maximum number of documents per scheduled execution, Trading Networks tries to archive or delete the additional documents during the next schedule execution.
The default value is specified on the tn.archive.maxRows property.
5. In the Criteria panel, specify the archive or deletion criteria in the fields. All of the fields are optional; if you do not want to limit archive or deletion based on a criterion, leave that field blank.
The following table describes the fields and criteria:
