Archive Path
The default path for file archive operations.
Generated SSIS packages receive the value as the ArchivePath variable or $Project::ArchivePath parameter. The file archive step moves each processed import file from the import path to this folder, creating subfolders as needed and preserving the relative folder structure, and optionally compresses it. If the archive path is empty or the same as the import path, files are not moved.
When to Change This Setting
Point it at a folder with enough space to retain processed files, accessible to the account executing the packages. It must differ from the Import Path for archiving to occur.
