Accessing the Archive Menu

Archive provides a facility for creating archive recording requests. Recordings can consist of groups of users performing their daily routines without any additional knowledge or training.

Tip

You can create search requests within Archive Management in the Session Monitor web application. See BMC AMI Web Products Installation and Configuration for information on how to install the Session Monitor web application. Refer to the online help after installation to learn how to use the Session Monitor web application.

Archive recording is initiated based on Archive Recording Requests. These requests allow you to specify the exact IP addresses and port numbers to record. IPv6 and IPv4 IP address formats are both valid.

Archive recording functions as a separate task that must be started by operational personnel before recordings are activated.

This topic provides information on how to perform archive requests for TCP/IP.
