The transaction archive stores transactions that have completed. After a transaction’s response has been transmitted to the HTTP client, the Transaction Archive examines the transaction and decides whether to store it.

By default, only transactions that generated an error response and transactions that include an application log or intermediate file are stored in the archive. By default, transactions are retained for 48 hours, and the transaction archive can occupy up to 500 MB of disk space.

However, you can configure the archive to retain all transactions processed by the Arbortext PE Request Manager, or to save no transactions at all.
