+ | |||
+ | At the time of archiving, which is after sorting and bursting and after any specified iDocs merge, iView will initiate an FTP session with the specified host and transfer the archived document to the specified host and directory. Optionally it will export the index values for that document in a text file. The original document is then archived in iView. | ||
