Archiving source files

AD
DM

Files used in source subscriptions can be automatically archived on Network's FTP server after a job completes so you can review, download, or use them to re-run a subscription job.

Enable auto-archive

Administrators and Data Managers can enable the archive option for source subscriptions. By default, the setting is not enabled.

  • In the source subscription configuration, select the Allow Auto-Archive setting in the General Settings section.

When the setting is enabled, the source files are automatically moved from the inbound folder to the auto-archive folder on your Network FTP server when a job completes.

Supported jobs

Source files are archived in the following conditions:

  • job completes successfully

  • job completes with warnings

Jobs not supported

Source files are not archived if the job fails.

Auto-archive folder

The folder is predefined on the top-level of your Network File System (File Explorer).

The folder is read-only; it cannot be edited.

Folder name

Network FTP path: auto-archive/inbound/<subscriptionCode>/<jobID_timestamp>.zip

The timestamp used for the .zip file is YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.(fff), for example, 230530T093819282.

Source files

The archive contains a compressed (.zip) file containing all of the files in the feed.

File retention

The files are retained for one year so you can review and re-run the feed as needed. The expiration time complies with Amazon S3's expiration policy.

Job Details

In the Job Details page, The Job Settings Summary contains the Allow Auto-Archive heading so you can see the path and file name of the archived file for completed jobs.

  • If a job fails, no files are archived and the message "No file path available" displays for the setting.

  • If Allow Auto-Archive was not enabled, the setting displays as Deactivated.

Advanced properties

When the Allow Auto-Archive setting is enabled, the following property is added to the subscription:

  • "feed.stash":"true"

To view advanced properties, click Advanced Mode in the subscription configuration.

Logs

Administrators can track archived files in the System Audit History.
