The Archive Reader reads .TLA files and sends the data through pipeline
session agents, allowing for further processing of the data. The operations performed are typically
those not performed during real-time data capture, either for convenience or performance reasons
(such as applying a sophisticated Rules Engine script to the data that may have a negative impact on
capture performance).
Before you begin, you should start the pipeline through which you are sending the
.TLA file.
A configuration file is associated with the Archive Reader. The configuration file is similar to the capture configuration files.
