![]() – Lower hardware and administration costs: Data Archiving will help avoid additional hardware costs and reduce administration costs. End users will have to sort through less data to find the required information. Removing data from the online database will allow transactions and queries to be completed in a shorter time. A smaller amount of data in the active database improves performance for dialog transactions and reports, especially in areas where all records in a table have to be processed. – Improved system performance and response times: Large data volumes in application tables result in long run-times for transactions and reports. Here in my blog post will be covering only ‘Classical Archiving’ at presentĭata Archiving provides the mechanism to move static, business-complete data records from the active SAP Database to Non-Sap archive storage.ĭata archiving provides several advantages: There are basically 2 approaches suggested by SAP to archive data “Archiving” refers to the process associated with copying data and supporting documents from an active system (SAP) to an external source (Open Text) for the purpose of deletion and/or storage for later retrieval. ![]() SAP Data Archiving is the method supported by SAP to remove business-complete application data from the database in a consistent, secure, and comprehensive manner and to store it in such a way that it can be accessed in the future ![]() Let’s understand what it means by Archiving in SAP Newer data and data that must be accessed more frequently is stored on faster but more expensive storage media in SAP while less critical and less frequently accessed data is stored on less expensive media outside SAP. Here Fig.1 shows the flow of information system data throughout its lifecycle: from creation and initial online storage to archive storage to the time when it becomes obsolete and is deleted. Since these days every organization is looking forward to move their SAP applications from traditional On-Premise to modern Cloud Database so it becomes essential to reduce the data volume at the online or active database as more data means more downtime during Cloud or HANA MigrationĪs a part of series of blog posts will share with you the data archiving prerequisites, activities to be performed by SAP functional & technical consultant, ‘Open Text’ consultant and Business Users.īefore going into the details of archiving, let’s understand first the lifecycle of data and at what stage or under which conditions we can consider data for archiving. (*Business-Completed Data: Data that has no further processing like an Invoice that has been settled and cleared by a payment) ![]() Being SAP FICO consultant I have got the opportunity to implement archiving solution as a part of ‘Data volume management’ for reducing the data footprint of ‘business complete’* data and moving forward with only online open items and business critical data for business continuity. ![]()
