Archive to Historical Database

This step updates the Historical database with the pay period data.

Note: If this step freezes, check the archiving indicator located in the Configuration section>System card>Applications screen>Historical Archive Subsystem application>Indicators>System Standard 2. This must be set to Y (Yes) for this step to process.

What Happens:

All pay periods associated with Pay Groups that have Pay Group System Standard Indicator 1 set to “Y” are submitted in request form to the Application Server to have a historical archive performed on them.

Data is archived in the historical database. If one or more closing pay periods have already been manually archived with one or more pay periods that are not included in the close job, the user will get a descriptive message about this and the step can’t be run until the problem is fixed by API Healthcare. This situation is also caused by closing pay periods that have been purged from the historical database.

Classification:

Both Time & Attendance and Scheduling pay period close.

Step Type:

Task

Subsystem:

Historical Archive server

Can Be Rerun After Accepted:

No. This step also disables all steps before it.

Note: If one or more closing pay periods have already been manually archived with one or more pay periods that are not included in the close job, the user gets a descriptive message about this and the step cannot be run until the problem is fixed by API Healthcare. This situation is also caused by closing pay periods that have been purged from the Historical database.

Processing Guidelines:

As the process is running, the hourglass icon appears to the right of the step. Click on the Refresh icon in the web tool bar and then point to the icon to view the progress. The Informational Messages box at the top of the screen is also updated.
