Subject: RE: [EDI-L] Gentran Server Archive Corruption??
Kevin,

I'm not sure if your user can use any data from edihist archives. Our users
do not have ability to go into those archives. To me it looks like we need
to keep archives in edihist only for EDI purpose:
- to change status for acknowledgments
- re-extract and re-transmit some transactions in case of errors (mostly
outbound)

I created my own archives for Inbound and Outbound transactions and I
separated all of them by transaction type. I'm using my own unix script to
have those archives with TP Code file name and ISA ID and Time Stamp in the
file name. In case I need to re-process or re-send any files I can find
them without Gentran: Server GUI much faster. I keep those archives on line
for 6 month or even more depending on transaction volume and I also have all
old archives on a back up media.

Thanks for the reply. So at a combined file size of 1 gig, how much history
are you actually keeping in the Gentran Archive? One problem we are facing
is that our end users currently want the ability to see data as far back as
6 months....
