Archive
Note: Archive appears only when the enhanced security mode is installed. Archive is
enabled only for users who belong to the Service user group.
Archiving deletes results from the database and archives the deleted results as text files. The
protocol parameters that were used with the assay run are also archived with the results. The
archive module shows the protocol tree in the left pane and results in the right pane (as in
the protocol explorer).
The User can select multiple results from the right pane for archiving. Right-clicking
selected results brings up the
Archive menu command (the Archive command is found also
from the Archive File menu). The Archive command launches the Archive dialogue
(similar to the Save As dialogue) where the user can enter path of the archive directory. The
Save command archives results and deletes the archived results from the database. Each
result is saved as a separate text file. The archived files are named by protocol name and
assay ID.
From the left pane the user can select protocols to be deleted. Only protocols that have no
results in the database can be deleted (i.e. results must be archived first).
