Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for archiving data files in a system having a master archiver and a plurality of child archivers. A plurality of child archivers are controlled by coupling the master archiver to each one of the child archivers. The order of at least one manufacturing area is determined to archive data files from the manufacturing area into an archiving destination. An archive protocol file is created for archiving the data file. An archiving process is implemented in response to a specification from the archiving protocol file. A start-up of the archiver process is executed. The child archivers are monitored to determine whether the child archivers have completed the archiving process. A shut-down of the archiving process is executed in response to the determination that the child archivers have completed the archiving process. The archiving process is terminated.
