Archive database location

Question

The archiving installation documentation states that the Archive Database and _ArcDistribution database will be installed on the same SQL instance with the Changepoint database but the customer would like to change it.

Is this possible?


ANSWER:

Yes, the Archiving database was designed to be separate from Changepoint SQL instance.

The ArcDistribution database however is a temporary database and must reside on same sql instance with the Changepoint database. The ArcDistribution database can be deleted after the execution of the archiving job.
