What's new in Archive Manager 1.0 SP3
Archive Manager 1.0 SP3 is faster, more scalable and more independent than earlier releases.
- Archiving deployment separated from SDL Tridion Content Deployer
- In previous versions, Archive Manager performed its archiving as part of the Content Deployer deployment process. Now, the Archiver component performs its deployment independently and asynchronously.
- Scalability
- Because Archive Manager now has its own queue, can use its own process and writes to its own log, it can be scaled up (by increasing the number of threads) and scaled out (by putting the Archiver on a separate machine) in order to optimize performance.
- Performance
- Because archiving takes places asynchronously and independently of Content Deployer, overall performance has improved. Do note, however, that the new setup puts a heavier load on your server.
- PowerShell scripts
- To install or update the Archiver database, PowerShell scripts have been introduced. The existing SQL scripts are still supported, mostly for manual database installation or upgrade.
- Audit log
- Archive Manager now writes its transactions to a separate log, reporting whether the transaction succeeded or failed.
