hi Listers, We are trying to enable archiving on ARS 5.01. Yes we are aware that we dont have archiving functionality on ARS 5.0.1 (correct me if wrong). So here is how I am planning to do it and would like you guys to have a look at and with all the experience you have it will be great review.
The purpose of archiving is to increase performance while searching and to reduce database size. Hence what I am suggesting is to create a new database with tables same as in AR database. (the T Tables). Then I will create vendor forms for all the forms that I need to archive and map them to the new database tables that I have created similar to the AR T tables using ARDBC plugin. Now I will run an esclation that will move the records from AR server forms to the new vendor forms by a special user AR_ARCHIVER just as it does with the inbuilt archiving.All other users will have only read only access to the archive form as per the inbuilt functionality. Now this will reduce the number of records on the AR Server forms and move it to the archive vendor form. (At least that is the idea) Now I am aware that I will need to keep an eye on all the changes that happens to the base form in terms of field addition and need to replicate on the vendor archive form. But thats ok with us as there wont be any change we guess. So let me know if you guys think this will work? I am currently trying for a small POC for the same will update for the same once I pass/fail and what would be the pros and cons for the same. Just trying to think OOTB :) Thanks, Viki -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Data-Archiving-to-Vendor-form%21%21-will-it-work--tp30786586p30786586.html Sent from the ARS (Action Request System) mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
