The Archive Info screen contains the following tables.

Overview

The Overview table includes the following:

  • The number of items that the archiving process skipped or excluded
  • The number of items that failed the archiving process

The screen information divides the excluded items into the following categories:

  • Items that PolicyCenter excluded from archiving due to business logic
  • Items that PolicyCenter excluded from archiving due to a failure

Click Reset to set the total number of items excluded to zero.

Archive Source Information

The Archive Source Information table indicates the last refresh time of the Archive Info screen and the IArchiveSource plugin. The Archive Source Information also shows the availability of the store, retrieve and delete services. PolicyCenter derives these values from the following variables in Gosu class ArchiveSource:

  • storeStatus
  • retrieveStatus
  • deleteStatus

Possible values for these services include:

  • Available – The service is available.
  • Failure – The last archive, restore, or delete operation failed.
  • Manually – A user has manually flagged the service as unavailable.
  • Not configured – The service is not yet configured.
  • Not enabled – Archiving is not yet enabled.
  • Not started – Archiving is not yet started.
  • Queue – The service is not available. However, PolicyCenter permits the queueing of user requests.

Archive Summary by Data Model Version

As its name suggests, the Archive Summary by Datamodel Version table shows archiving information organized by data model version. For each database version, the table shows the following:

  • The number of entities PolicyCenter succeeded in archiving.
  • The number entities that PolicyCenter did not archive due to business logic.
  • The number of entities that PolicyCenter did not succeed in archiving due to a failure.

Each excluded category has a Reset button to set the count of excluded entities back to zero.

Click a specific version to view additional archive information for that data model version. See The Archive Summary by Data Model Version table for more information.
