SAA Archives

Data Life
Data reside in one of the three stages within IMS and move from one stage to the next through pre-defined time periods. Transactions and underlying messages along with related data components will stay in Active stage while being processed and for ‘m’ days after settlement. After that, they move to Live where they stay for ‘n’ number of months. On completing this timeframe, they move to Archive and stay for ‘y’ number of years. On completing the years, they are ready to be moved out to other storage systems as needed. The durations, ‘m’, ‘n’, and ‘y’ can be set differently for each type of message/transaction.
