Viewing the Archives


Two archives are maintained by the FTSpooler Archive Server. Successful Jobs Archive stores successful jobs where the Archive option for that queue is set. Stored are the input file, formatted output file, details about delivery and any Associated File fields. Failed Jobs Archive stores automatically on failure and stores the error code and message in addition to the data stored for successful jobs.

More Information see the Queue Administrator Manual Guide

You are only able to view the specific queues to which you were given access by the System Administrator.
