Archiving Benefits Why archive data in SAP systems? • r Improve system performance • § Reduction of database size • § Faster backup and recovery • § Faster release upgrade • r Improve use of resources • § Reduced hardware costs • § Reduced administration costs • JShorter system response times
use PBS for retrieval Data retrieval with display transactions R/3 database ADK archiving program 1: archive to ADK files ADK deletion program 2: delete from R/3 DB SAP archive files SAP Archiving Processes using ADK
Display and evaluation functionality of • archived data identical to data base data. • More agressive Archiving Method • Modular program packages corresponding to major SAP modules (FI, SD, MM, CO, ...). • Standardized ready-to-use solutions as „add-on“ software for SAP R/3. • CSP certified by SAP AG Benefit from PBS archive add onsTM

Project Steps • Analysis • Design and Conception • Test • Implementation GO-LIVE
Project steps • Analysis R/3 Database Analysis Off-site analysis Kick-off meeting • Propose Archive Objects to process • R/3 Database growth simulation • Tables outside archive object scope • Archive Object review
Design and Conception: Goals of the design phase • Develop an concrete archiving concept for creating and managing archive files • Create an implementation plan • Create a long term archiving plan Analysis from a business point of view: • Process analysis as prerequisite for determining the residence times • Define the dependencies between the archiving objects, based on documentation AND process analysis • Define the read-access requirements from the business viewpoint.
Test Phase • Archiving under realistic test conditions, datasets should be as similar possible to the production system. • Create user process description for access to archived data • Train the end users
Implementation GO-LIVE • Execute data archiving in production system • - Transports/Customizing • - Agreement from system administrators and user • - Job Monitoring • Communicate results of production archiving to user departments • Post processing • - Table space reorganization where required • - Index reorganization • - Update the database statistics • - Backup archive files • - Check data objects, which could not be archived
