Change Auditor - Creating and Connecting Archives (4379477)

In this video, the process of creating and connecting archives within Change Order is discussed. The first step involves creating an archive policy through the administration tasks, specifically under the Purge and Archive tab. Users must give the policy a job name and select how to process events, ensuring the archive policy aligns with the purge policy. An example of an archive policy set for 60 days is provided, with options for frequency and batch limits for processing events. Once the policy is created, an archive database is established on the same server as Change Order.

To connect to the archive database, users must disconnect from the current console, create a new connection, and point to the SQL Server instance where the archive database resides. After establishing the connection, users can access archived data, which is simplified for legacy data review. The session concludes with a demonstration of retrieving archived events older than 60 days.
