Archive Manager for Files 8.5 - ArchiveWeb Guide

More actions

In ArchiveWeb the user can search in archived documents, lock them or adjust the list view. All these and also other tasks are accessible through the More actions menu.

Use the Download option to download the selected documents.

Performance hint: If Files server contain large files (with size more than 20 MB) it is possible to speed-up the download time and save some system resources. Administrator can set the following keys under <appSettings> in the ArchiveWeb web.config file:

 

Pam4HSMWS                - defines URL of PAM4HSMWS web-service

Pam4HSMWSMethod - defines download method used, possible values: 1 (file is downloaded to cache first), 2 (file is accessed directly in HSM server). Preferred value is 2.

DownloadChunkSize        - size of the chunks used for download (default value is 32768 bytes)

 

 

Example of settings:

    <add key="Pam4HSMWS" value="http://AW7:7782/PAM4HSM/PAM4HSMWS.asmx" />

    <add key="Pam4HSMWSMethod" value="2" />

    <add key="DownloadChunkSize" value="32768" />

 

 

 

Via the Restore option you can restore the whole archived item to the current shortcut location (the item in the archive is not changed in any way).

Use the Add tags / Remove tags options to tag your items. You can use already created tags or create new ones directly in the pop-up dialog.

Use the Lock document / Unlock document option to handle document locks (for more information see the “Legal hold – lock documents” section).

 

The Mark for deletion option marks the given item(s) for deletion in the archive, i.e. when the retention time elapses, the item(s) will be completely deleted from the archive. Until then they stay unchanged.

To display only items marked for deletion, click the deleted category above the list view.

 

Use the Extend retention time option to INCREASE the time for which the item cannot be deleted from the archive. Retention time is set by selecting a date from a Calendar control. Retention time that points to the past cannot be set. After the specified date the item can be deleted manually or by a Delete job if such is scheduled in the Enterprise Manager (for Files).

HSM defines retention as a number of months from the time when the document was stored in HSM or from the time when the retention was changed. These different approaches cause that retentions in Archive Manager and HSM do not match. Especially if file’s creation/modification date is used for document’s life-cycle or the retention of the document is changed. In such situation the document in HSM is always protected longer than in Archive Manager. Because of this, the document can remain in HSM and can’t be deleted by the delete job until HSM retention expires.

The difference between HSM and Archive Manager retention can be up 2 months.

Under the File Archive tab the user can access all files that were archived. Even if the archived file was deleted from the file system, it is accessible in ArchiveWeb. Such items, i.e. archived items which have no shortcut in the file system, are so called LOST ITEMS.

On the ALL tab it is not possible to distinguish between these lost items and normal items with shortcuts. However, to see only lost items of the given folder, select the LOST tab above the list view.

 

Legal hold – lock documents

For audit purposes documents can be locked by the user. When the document is locked, it remains in the state in which it was locked, i.e. it cannot be deleted, edited etc. simply it cannot be changed in the system.

To lock documents, select the desired documents in the main pane. In the right upper corner of the preview pane click the More actions link (MENU).

From the menu select Lock document. Locked documents will be displayed with a lock icon (ARCHIV~1_img45). The lock icon is yellow if you have locked the item and grey if it has been locked in a shared folder by another user.

NOTE: Unlock documents by selecting Unlock document from the More actions menu.

NOTE: To display only locked items in the given folder, click the LOCKED tab above the list view.
