Enabling Data Feed Manager for All Instances

Designates the relative paths for the Data Feed Manager. By default, the Relative Path option is selected. If you do not want to require relative paths for Data Feed Manager, clear the Require relative path option. This option activates the Data File Management section on the Datafeed Settings tab.

When this option is selected, the path becomes required in the Transport configuration of the data feed in the Archer. The path indicates where the data feed files are stored when generated from the Archer.

The Data Feed Manager provides the ability to build and configure dynamic integrations with external enterprise systems and files. Using the Data Feed Manager, you can build a transport path between Archer and an external source, and then map the data from that source to an existing target application or questionnaire in Archer. You also can configure the data feed to run on a set schedule. After the initial configuration, the data feed executes automatically with no need for you to intervene.

Archer is vendor-neutral and content-independent, which enables you to use the Data Feed Manager as a point of consolidation for enterprise data of any type, supporting analysis, and process management. With a centralized view of data from point solutions, databases, spreadsheets, and other sources, it is easier to access content that is relevant to your job functions, and you can re-purpose data to support a variety of business processes.
