Starting and Stopping Archival Policies

You can start an archival policy manually, for example, if you want to archive more records and do not want to modify the configured policy schedule. You can also stop a policy manually if processing is about to take too long, and you do not want the policy to have an impact on the production environment during business hours.

To start or stop an archival policy:

1. Navigate to the Archive tab.
2. From the organization drop-down list, select a Salesforce organization for which the archival policy has been created.
3. Select the necessary archival policy.

You can filter archival policies displayed on the Archive tab by using the icons in the Show field at the top of the list. If you select a filter, the settings will apply to all companies and will not change during the current user session until the user changes it manually. That is why if you do not see the necessary policy in the list, make sure that the All filter is selected.

4. Click Run or Stop.
