2 -In most cases, the customer wants some kind of insurance policy to determine whether a file has entered or left eMagiz. One way of supplying such functionality for file-based data exchange is through the use of archiving functionality. With the help of this functionality can you easily write the file as received (or about to be sent) to a separate location. By ensuring that the data stays in that location for a certain amount of time and by giving the customer and yourself access you have a sort of audit trail that details the messages that have been exchanged. This archive could also be used to analyze problems in case things go wrong. In this microlearning, we will learn how you can set up that archiving and learn how to clean up the archiving to ensure that data is only kept for a limited period.

There are several ways of dealing with this challenge. First, this microlearning will discuss the various alternatives and best approaches in these scenarios.

33 +Below we will explain the differences between the various options available for your volume mapping. But before we do, we first explain how to set up this configuration within eMagiz. Then, you must navigate to Deploy -> Architecture on the model level. In this overview, you can access the Volume mapping per runtime deployed on-premise. To do so, you can right-click on the runtime to access the context menu.

37 +When you click this option, you will see the following pop-up. In this pop-up, you can define the machine-level and runtime-level volumes. More on that later. This is the starting point for configuring your volume mapping. We will walk through each available option and explain how they work and should be configured.

26 26  To make this work in eMagiz you need to navigate to the Create phase of eMagiz and open the entry flow in which you want to archive the files. Within the context of this flow, we need to add functionality that will ensure that each input file is archived and cleaned up when older than three days. To do so first enter "Start Editing" mode on flow level. The first decision we have to take is how we are going to name the files within the archiving. The best practice, in this case, is the original filename + the current time as a suffix. You can define this by dragging a format file name generator (support object) to the canvas.
