Use

You can now archive log and administration data for requests. This allows you to improve the performance of the load monitor and the monitor for load processes. It also allows you to free up tablespace on the database.

The archiving concept for request administration data is based on the SAP NetWeaver data archiving concept. The archiving object BWREQARCH contains information about which database tables are used for archiving, and which programs you can run (write program, delete program, reload program). You execute these programs in transaction SARA (archive administration for an archiving object).

In addition, in the Administration functional area of the Data Warehousing Workbench, in the archive management for requests, you can manage archive runs for requests. You can execute various functions for the archive runs here.

Effects on System Administration

After an upgrade, use BI background management or transaction SE38 to execute report RSSTATMAN_CHECK_CONVERT_DTA and report RSSTATMAN_CHECK_CONVERT_PSA for all objects (InfoProviders and PSA tables). Execute these reports at least once so that the available request information for the existing objects is written to the new table for quick access, and is prepared for archiving.

Check that the reports have successfully converted your BI objects.

Only perform archiving runs for request administration data after you have executed the reports.
