In the archiving process, the runs executed before the specified date will be
transferred from the working database to the archive database.
All runs executed after the specified date will remain in the working database.
The sessions for the archived runs will also be present in both databases,
and can be manually deleted from the working database, if desired. The
archive database is read-only and cannot be altered. Runs can be exported
from the archive database and imported into the working database, if needed.
Note Archiving does not delete sessions from the working database
due to FDA requirements, such as audit trails.
Make sure the working database is correct. See Changing the working
database" on page 290.
• Up to and including date - Choose the date up to which all the data
will be archived (the selected date included).
