Creating an archive service

Use the New Service wizard to create an archive service.

An archive service requires an access definition. During the creation of a service, you can select or create an access definition.

The fully qualified name of an archive service consists of: identifier.name.

identifier
Identifier that serves as the prefix for the archive service name (1 to 8 characters).
name
Name assigned to the archive service (1 to 12 characters).

When you create archive services, it is helpful to use a logical set of naming conventions to identify the use for each and to organize definitions for easy access.

To create an archive service:

  1. Expand a folder in the Directory Explorer to contain the extract service, right-click Archive Services, and click New Service. The New Service wizard opens.
  2. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You must select or create an access definition. You must also enter a name for the target file.

The new archive service is displayed in the Archive Service Editor.
