Perform incremental archiving

Use
Archiver (Incremental)
to defer control of batch archiving to
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 and to perform batch reporting at user-defined intervals during batch execution. Specify the Incremental period between active archiving in
Minutes
 or
Seconds
. The minimum setting is 5 seconds. The maximum is 9999 minutes. Setting the value outside of this range causes
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 to run in 5 minute incremental periods.
To update the incremental period after making changes, stop and restart the Incremental Archiver.
Configure the Incremental Archiver with a Windows user account that has administrative privileges to log on to the system. When using incremental archiving, configure
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 to run as a Windows service with an automatic startup type. Use the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Service Manager to monitor and control
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 service. (See the
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 User Guide
 for information on enabling
FactoryTalk Event Archiver
 as a service.)
