Archiving

SEEBURGER does not offer a long-term archive. It is the customers‘ responsibility to define how to get data for archiving from SEEBURGER, and where to archive it.

SEEBURGER collects all processed data and can provide the following data types for customers, depending on their archiving strategy:

  • source files (before first conversion)

  • intermediate files, i.e. SEE XML files (when using double conversion)

  • target files (after second conversion)

  • log files

  • PDF reports (when using double conversion)

Usually, a schedular is set up to regularly collect all data in Message Tracking flagged for archiving. These flags are set initially during the process configuration at the beginning of the iPaaS workflow. The flags can be defined individually per business process.

The collected data is sorted according to the customers‘ requirements and put into a zip folder. The zip folder is then sent to the customers the way they defined in the process configuration, i.e. via https, AS2 or other protocols.

Note: The process of zipping and sending the data must follow a specific configuration, that means a specific naming convention. Not following the naming convention can lead to additional costs for the customers because the data is then included in accounting.

The naming convention for the routing process is:

CustomerArchive_[CUSTOMERNAME]; e.g.: CustomerArchive_SEEBURGER

Note: It should be checked if the naming convention is correct before going live. If it is not correct, the process should not be approved for the production system.

You can find detailed information on naming the routing process and more in the user guide B2B Configuration Management Guide on page 15.
