View Data in Completed CSV Replication Set

Hi All - We have a scheduled replication set that runs daily. The export format is CSV and our retain history count is set to 15. The CSV file goes FTP to be moved onto another server. Is there a way for me to see those CSV files? It would be nice to see the file and it's contents when we are trying to troubleshoot issues. Once the CSV is moved from the FTP site I don't have access to it. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hey Stace - I am unsure if there is a way to do this with FSM configuration, which is what I am guessing you are after. We use an integration tool (Informatica) to make a copy of the file before shipping it off to the second server. The copy is saved to an integration server in case I need to review it. This is how I retain access to files to troubleshoot issues.

Good to know. We could implement that practice as well. Wasn't sure if we could pull a copy from FSM though. Thanks for your response, Tanner.

Stacy:

You can connect the Replication Set to an IPA service. You can use a File node to create a date stamped file for uniqueness, then write the file to pfiFileStorage. You can manually delete the files from pfiFileStorage, or you can use the IPA to manage how many versions you want to persist to pfiFileStorage. Security is an issue with this approach, because the records are visible to uses with the ProcesServerAllAccess role.
I encrypt sensitive data before I persist to pfiFileStorage, then have another service decrypt it if it needs to be viewed.
