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.
