In the Data Feed Manager , the "Target Record Processing" setting on the Run Configuration tab determines how Archer handles records that are not present in the current source file. As taught in Archer Administration II , selecting the Delete radio button (often referred to as a "destructive feed" or "mirroring") instructs Archer to compare the source file to the target application.

If the feed finds records in the target application that do not match the keys provided in the source file, it will delete them. In this scenario, since there are only 20 entries in the source file, Archer will keep (or create) those 20 records and delete the remaining 80 records that were already in the system but were missing from the source. Consequently, the final count in the target application will be 20. This setting is typically used for synchronization tasks where Archer must exactly match an external "system of record." Administrators are cautioned when using this setting, as it can lead to massive data loss if the source file is accidentally truncated or filtered incorrectly.

In the Archer platform, the Recalculation Schedule (found within the application's General Tab) is a powerful tool, but it can become a performance bottleneck if not configured efficiently. When a recalculation job is triggered, the Archer services must evaluate every record in the application to determine if calculations need to be updated. According to the Archer Administration II curriculum, the most effective way to optimize this process is by using Calculation Filters .

By selecting option A, you are instructing the system to ignore records that are irrelevant to the specific business logic (e.g., records that are already "Expired," "Rejected," or "Draft"). By filtering the schedule to run only for "Approved" requests, the job engine processes a significantly smaller subset of data, which reduces the load on the Async Service and speeds up the completion time. Option B would likely slow the system down further by adding logical complexity to the calculation itself. Option C (Data-Driven Events) is not suitable for date-based triggers because DDEs only fire upon a record "Save" event; they cannot proactively "watch" a date to trigger a change without user intervention or a scheduled recalculation.

The Mail Merge functionality in Archer allows administrators to take record data and push it into a pre-formatted Word or PDF template. This is a common requirement for generating formal "Exception Letters" or "Audit Reports."

As taught in the Archer Administration II curriculum, when a user is viewing a record and wishes to generate one of these documents, they must click the Export button. Upon clicking Export, the user is presented with several options: standard exports (like CSV or Rich Text) and any Mail Merge Templates that have been associated with that specific application and made available to the user's role. Option B (Email) is used for sending on-demand notifications, not for generating formatted document templates based on Word/PDF layouts.
