State

Maintenance Mode

N/A

Select the check box to indicate that the archive is currently in the maintenance mode, which means that the archive will not be written to any realm. See ARM manual mode in the Integration Service system manual [SM IS] for details on when to use the maintenance mode.

ImageMaster 8

(legacy support)

N/A

Select the check box to indicate that the archive is an ImageMaster 8 legacy archive.

This option is only available for SFTP, NetApp, and local archive types.

Unavailable Timeout (Seconds)

Yes

An archive will be set to temporarily unavailable, if a read or write operation to or from the archive exceeded Unavailable Timeout seconds. The default value is -1 which disables this timeout. If the value of the timeout is -1, an archive can nonetheless be set to temporarily unavailable for instance due to a network error during read / write access to the archive. For further information on the temporarily unavailable mechanism of archives, refer to the Auto Recover Management section of the system manual IntegrationService.

Online Checking Interval (Minutes)

Yes

If an archive was set to temporarily unavailable, the archive is not used in any read / write operations for the next Online Checking Interval minutes. The default value of Online Checking Interval is 10 minutes.

For further information on the temporarily unavailable mechanism of archives, refer to the Auto Recover Management section of the system manual IntegrationService.

Mark Files Read Only

N/A

The parameter sets a delete protection in the file system for local archives or SFTP.
