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.
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.
