Archiving and Restoring Records
Use E-Signature Archive/Delete (36.12.14.22) to archive electronic signature records to a file and optionally delete the records from the system when they are no longer needed online.
If you need to access the records later, you can reload them using E‑Signature Restore (36.12.14.23) based on ranges of signature dates and category codes. They are then available to E-Signature Report.
Select records by entering the last electronic signature creation date you want the system to consider. The system selects all records up to that date that have not previously been archived. The archive data file has the format of esig_data_YYYYMMDD.hst. If this archive function is executed multiple times a day, the data will be appended to the same file.
Note: To ensure that signature-enabled programs can always display the latest signature data, the system does not delete the record for the latest signature event. It archives these records if they meet the selection criteria, but does not delete them even when Delete is Yes. The records are automatically deleted during a subsequent archive/delete session if they no longer represent the latest signature.
In E-Signature Restore (36.12.14.23), enter the date range of the records and the data file name to restore electronic signature records.
