You use this component to remove data that is no longer required in Payment Engine (FS-PE) without permanently deleting it. Archiving is used to move data that is no longer needed in daily business operations from a given database to an archive, where it can be kept and accessed for as long as required by law. This also improves system and database performance.

All data belonging to a business object, such as a payment order or a recall, is first copied to an archive file and then deleted from the database. Business objects must fulfill certain technical and business criteria to be considered archivable. One of the fundamental criteria is that they must have reached a specific age, called residence time, before they can be archived.

The system moves deleted business objects from the operational databases, but you still have read access to the archived data. You can display archived business objects in the same way as data still residing in the database, but you cannot change them.

You archive payment data in Payment Engine (FS-PE) using the Archiving Engine.

Implementation Considerations

The archiving tools for Payment Engine (FS-PE) are preconfigured for archiving payment data. In Customizing for Payment Engine (FS-PE), you can implement activities to adapt the archiving functions to your specific needs.

For more information, see Customizing Payment Data Archiving.

Further customizing options are available in the archiving tools themselves.

For more information, see Archiving Tools.

Integration

In archiving, business objects are represented as archiving objects. The Payment Engine (FS-PE) business object payment order is represented by an archiving object that contains the data of the payment order itself, its payment items, payment remittances, and all other referenced data.

Payment items referenced by more than one payment order, such as an incoming order or outgoing order, are referenced as shared objects in each order. Shared objects can only be deleted when all referenced payment orders have been deleted.
