How to archive

Hi
I need to archive all the Transactional data (bizdoc, activitylog etc…) older than 3 months and delete all the data older than 1 year. Can anyone give me the complete procedure to do this?

There is a service “wm.tn.archive.archive”, and it deletes data from BizDoc table. “wm.tn.archive.archive” has two parameters;

  1. archibeAfterDays
  2. deleteAfterDays
    and you can specifiy when data should be moved from BizDoc table to BizDocArchive (by 1) and when data in BizDoc table and other log tables should be deleted.

For more information about this service follow TNProgrammersReference.pdf which will be in the TN Docs folder.

also see:

HTH.

Thanx RMG,
I found a property in the TN properties file, tn.archive.archiveAfterDays. Does it do the same thing as running the wm.tn.archive:archive service? Also, there is a property for delete (tn.archive.deleteAfterDays).

Hi Guys,
The wm.tn.archive.archive service provides a way to archive/delete docs from the bizdoc table based on the number of days. But, I don’t want a couple of document types to be archived or deleted. How do i achieve this?

Thanx in advance
Bharat

invoking wm.tn.archive:archive service and then deleting the activity log using TNConsole doesn’t remove the data from PROCESSSTEP, TNPROCESS and TNROLEBINDING tables. How do i delete data from these tables? should i just use sql queries to delete the data based on the dates? TNRoleBinding doesn’t even have any dates, then how do i delete the data?

Thanx in advance
Bharat

Just related to this thread is it correct that wM uses only following tables for TN to store transactional data

BizDoc
BizDocContent
ActivityLog
TNProcess
TNRoleBinding
Process
ProcessStep
CustomProcessData

Also when u use the archive service, it puts BizDoc’s and content in archive tables. Will these Bizdocs still be accessible or queriable via TN Console???

How do people clear the TN database, so that you dont loose important information, like this documents received and send, these conversations errored out and still can clear some space. Like delete old data from ProcessStep while preserving corresponding info in Process and TNProcess table.

Ritesh,
You cannot query the bizdocs from the archive tables using TNConsole.
Using the archive service deletes/archives data from the bizdoc and bizdoccontent tables. This service does not delete the data in process, TNProcess, activitylog etc tables. To delete the data from these tables, use the wm.tn.cm:delete service with fromRepoOnly set to false.

Hope this helps.

what is the general practice for archiving, if one receives heavy volume on TN.

  • If one uses archive service, then u cant query that documents from TN Console, hence u need to built another small application to make querying access available to users for these archive tables

  • I wud assume, a company wud store say 3 months of data as active transactional. Rest u delete frm main and back it up, then u use another TN Console configured to use this backedup or archived database for querying purpose.

Best way to archive this would be have another archive database which is a replica in terms of database schema. Then have a scheduled service in the database which transfers all the data to the archive database. You can optionally have another TN instance accessing this database in case your partners would like to view these archived documents.

To delete documents you have the service ‘wm.tn.doc:deleteDocuments’, which could be used to delete the required documents.
