5. ID#7201 - Week of the month to run Archive Manager MaintenanceThis option works in conjunction with option 7200 to determine when Archive Maintenance runs. For example, if you want Archive Maintenance to run on the third Sunday of each month, set the week of the month option (this option) to 3 and the day of the week option (option 7200) to Sunday.

6. ID# 7202 Number of hours after which to delay Archive Manager MaintenanceThe number of hours you specify here is the number of hours Archive Manager will run each night (after nightly processing completes) until the process is complete. When Archive Manager Maintenance runs, it performs several tasks, and between tasks it checks to see whether there is still time to continue processing or delay the next task until the following day. If the number of hours you specify here is exceeded, then further Archive Manager Maintenance is delayed until the next day. Archive Manager Maintenance begins running after the Eagle server finishes nightly maintenance, and runs until it completes or exceeds the number of hours specified in this option. The entire process may take several days to complete.
