If this parameter is not specified ALL the variants are archived. If it is specified only the variant with that name is archived, and the archiving FAILS if such variant is not present. Some customers have a image workflow without wires and the images are created directly into the system as editorial images. These images are CMYK and they can also be in different formats, some of them, like EPS, quite heavy. The archive workflow is archiving those images as is. In order to be able to convert those kind of images into a lighter format we added the possibility to archive a variant. If not found the variant will be created. To use this functionality, create a new variant type to be used when archiving. The purpose is to change the color space and the format but not the size because the info about the image are not recomputed from the variant. Once the variant type is defined, add the parameter archiveImgVariantName to the user/group parameters assigning as value the name of the variant type you just created. archiveUseOriginal (boolean) If 'true' the system archives the original of the images used on page (e.g. the original wire photo). When set to 'false' the system archives directly the images that have been placed on the page / document. The default is 'true'. archiveKeepMetadata (boolean) A boolean, used by the Archive workflow.

Path of the output directory - if specified the workflow generates a ZIP containing all the data to be archived in the specified directory, instead than importing it directly in this same system.

If this parameter is not specified ALL the variants are archived. If it is specified only the variant with that name is archived, and the archiving FAILS if such variant is not present. archiveWebComment (string) If set to 'All', all the comments of each archived article and story will be archived too.
