Archive Import
Determines if imported files are archived after processing.
For file-source objects in SSIS projects, enabling this adds a file archive step to the generated load: after each file is processed it is moved from the Import Path to the Archive Path (or deleted, when the object is configured to delete import files instead) and optionally compressed according to Zip Archive Import. When disabled, processed files are left in the import folder.
When to Change This Setting
Keep the default Y so processed files are moved out of the import folder. Disable it when an external process manages the lifecycle of the import files.
