    • Stop archiving by deactivating, deleting, or cancelling an archive rule.

    Before you begin

    Role required: admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > System Archiving > Archive Rules.
    2. Select the archive rule that you want to stop.
    3. Stop the archive rule from running.
      • Deactivate the archive rule by clearing the Active check box. The Archive - Handle archive chunks business rule updates the state of the corresponding record in the Archive Job Execution Chunks [sys_archive_run_chunk] table from waiting to not-needed.
      • Contact Customer Service and Support to delete the archive rule.
      • Cancel the archive rule by calling GlideArchiver().cancel() from System Maintenance > Scripts - Background. This automatically changes the chunks in the Archive Job Execution Chunks [sys_archive_run_chunk] table from running to cancelled.

    Result

    No additional chunks are processed.
