Process archiving moves
a process instance and all its
related data to an archive database when the
Completed or Canceled date for the process instance exceeds
a specified number of days. This helps save storage space
on the main AgilePoint database and improve performance.
You can also archive
process data manually. For more information, see
APADM Archive Database Command.

for the archive database.
- In the Database Server field, enter the server name for
the archive database.

To suspend a database archive schedule without deleting the
settings, set Archive completed process in to 0.
