QUESTION: thanks for the response,
but i want to make archive database of the whole application not in this database document automatically transfer after every 3 months,can you please guide me how to do this...
Answer Hi,
An archive database is basically a copy of the production database but the users can only read documents (you do this by setting the proper ACL).
So, create a copy of your application (design only + any lookup records you have in the production database) on the same server.
Then write a scheduled agent which will
1. copy the documents which meet your criteria for archive from production to the archive
2. delete those documents from production.
