## Agent Archive

This property page specifies information specific to the Archive Agent.

After you change settings on the Archive page, restart the Archive Agent to put the new settings into effect.

Queue Path
Browse to and select the directory where the Archive Agent stores conversations temporarily when there are conversations waiting to be archived. The default location is \novell\nm\aa\queue for NetWare® and Windows* or /var/opt/novell/messenger/aa/queue for Linux*.

Passphrase
A passphrase is used for encrypting archived conversations. A passphrase is generally longer than 7 characters and can be up to 100 characters. A random passphrase is generated by default on the Archive property page of the Messenger system object. You can override that passphrase by providing a different passphrase on the Agent object if desired.

Archive Store Maintenance
Default archive store maintenance settings are provided on the Archive page of the Messenger system object. You can override them on the Agent object if desired.

The archive store maintenance settings control when old conversations should be expired and deleted from the Messenger archive and when the expiration process should take place.

> Delay
> Specify how many hours after 12:00 midnight you want expiration to occur. By default, Delay is set to 2, which means expiration will occur at 2:00 a.m. every day.
> Interval
> Specify how often to check for expired conversations, starting at the time specified in Delay. The default is every 4 hours.
> Expire
> Specify the number of days an archived conversation will be kept before it is expired and deleted. The default is 90 days. If you specify 0 (zero), archived conversations will be retained permanently.
