Mass archiving

OutBoard Mass archiving allows a user to archive more InfoProviders at once and it is fully automated. These InfoProviders are chosen by the user and are saved in a group with specified technical settings.

Mass archiving provides these two basic processes:

Creation of DAPs
Creation and execution of archiving requests

There are also other options offered as priority settings, scheduling, and transport of group and group settings. All of these functionalities are described in the following and are dependent on the type of group (WODS, ODS, Cube, ChangeLog, PSA).

On this screen, you are allowed to Create (F5) a new group and Edit (F6), Display (F7) and Delete (Shift+F6) an existing group. These functions are also accessible from the top menu bar (tab Run) and application toolbar. A group consists only of Objects of the same type. Therefore by the creation of a new group, you have to select the type of your group from the options at the bottom.

You may open and then administrate your mass archiving group by filling in one of its InfoProviders.

After creating a new group a user will step into the following screen:
