Archiving source files
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.
About the archive
When the Allow Auto-Archive setting is enabled in a source subscription, the source files are automatically moved from the inbound folder to the auto-archive folder on your Network FTP server if the job completes. Files are archived even if the job completes with warnings.
Note: Source files are not archived if the job fails.
The folder is predefined and cannot be edited.
Network FTP path: auto-archive/inbound/subscriptionCode/jobID_timestamp.zip
Note: The timestamp used for the .zip file is YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.(fff), for example, 230530T093819282.
The archive contains a compressed (.zip) file containing all of the files in the feed.
The auto-archive folder are read-only; it cannot be modified.

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.
