Service Configuration dialog box (Archiver application)

In the Service Configuration dialog box, you set up the tasks for an Archiver application. For more information about the options in this dialog box, see Archiver application configurations.

Setting	Description
Continuous	Select to create a task for continuously archiving documents and metadata. When the Archiver application polls the output queue and finds documents ready for archiving, the documents are immediately archived.
Batch	Select to create a task for archiving batches of documents and metadata. When the Archiver application polls the output queue and finds documents ready for archiving and the number of documents exceeds the Task trigger (documents), the documents are archived.
Archive time-stamping	Select to create a task for archive time-stamping. For information about the option and the corresponding settings, see the E-Invoice Center documentation.
Migration	Select to create a migration task. For information about the option and the corresponding settings, see the Upgrading Instructions.
Add	Click to add a new task.
Remove	Click to remove the selected task.

For each added task, the settings below are available.

Setting	Description
Type	The type of archiving task (Continuous, Batch or Archive time-stamping or Migration).
Name	A name for the task.
Description	A description of the archiving task.
Schedule	The polling interval at which the Archiver application polls the output queue for documents and metadata ready to be archived. You set up the polling interval in the Scheduler Configuration dialog box. You reach the Scheduler Configuration dialog box by selecting the field and clicking the button to the right of the field.
Document type	Select the document type(s) to be archived within the task.
Time-out (s)	The time after which documents held by an Archiver application are unlocked if the Archiver application has not updated its heartbeat. The unlocked documents are then available to all Archiver applications within the application domain. For granularity reasons, it is not recommended to set the time-out to less than 60 seconds. Note: The time-out must be larger than the Heartbeat.
Heartbeat	The heartbeat at which the status and health of the Archiver application are monitored. For each heartbeat, the Archiver application updates the runtime repository with status information. For granularity reasons, it is not recommended to set the heartbeat to less than 10 seconds. Note: The heartbeat must be less than the Time-out (s). Note: If you use one single Archiver application, and want to enhance performance by disabling the heartbeat, you can set the heartbeat to 0. You must then set the Time-out (s) to 0.
Advanced	Advanced settings for the archiving task. Documents moved per transfer – The maximum number of documents that the Archiver application locks and transfers in each archiving operation within the schedule.
Task trigger (documents)	Applicable for Batch tasks. The minimum number of documents that must exist in the output queue before the archiving task is triggered.
