Secondary storage repository for archived data
Configure a second storage repository in Pega Platform so your case archival policy can move your defined historical case data to a secondary storage repository and free up space on your primary database repository.
The configuration requirements for this secondary storage repository depend on your deployment of Pega Platform.
- Pega Cloud uses Pega Cloud File storage (PCFS) to store archived data. During implementation, Pega Cloud services automatically configures the repository without the need for additional configuration. For more information, see Using Pega Cloud File storage.
- On-premises and client-managed cloud deployments of Pega Platform support different types of repositories to store data. For these types of deployments, if you have not configured a case data file storage repository, then you must configure on using a dynamic system setting with the name of the file storage repository for case archiving. For more information, see Creating a repository.
