Archiving Limits and Limit Utilizations with TRTM_LM

When Limit Management is used in your production system, this leads over time to very large volumes of data being saved. To ensure that evaluations are not slowed down by excessively large volumes of data, you can delete limits and utilizations from the system. However, you can delete this data from the system only if you have archived it in a previous step, that is, only if you have copied it to an external memory. In another step, you can reload archived data that has been deleted.

Prerequisites

Data to be archived already exists in the system:

Procedure

Archiving is a standard application that is used for many SAP applications

Archiving

In the Actions area, choose the Write pushbutton.
The Archive Administration: Generate Archive Data screen appears.
Enter a name for your variant and choose Maintain.
You have to maintain separate variants for test runs and update runs. Using the input help, you can reuse or change variants that have already been created. Confirm the next dialog box by choosing Continue.
In the selection screen "Maintain Variant: Report RFTBARC1, Variant xy", you have several options for selecting the data that is to be archived. For more information, see the report documentation.
If you want to perform an update run, you need to remove the indicator from the Test Run field. Enter an additional comment for the archive.
Save your variant.
If you want to create a new variant, you have to enter and save an additional description of the variant.
Enter the start date. For this, you have the following options:
- Start archiving immediately
- Start archiving on a certain date / at a certain time
- Start archiving after a specified event
- Start archiving directly after another job
You can also set up the system to archive data periodically. Save your entries.
Enter the spool parameters. Specify a printer for data that needs to be printed, then confirm your entries.
Start the archiving run.

Once you have started the archiving run, you can monitor the status of the job and also display the job log by choosing the pushbuttons Job Overview and Refresh.

You can also call up the log of archived objects by choosing Spool. You can display the data in the following formats:

Graphical
Raw
Hexadecimal

Similarly, you can display message texts by choosing Job Log.

Managing Archiving Runs

Choose the Administration pushbutton to display all the archiving runs created so far. The individual runs are sorted by their status:

Incomplete: Objects have been archived
Complete: Objects have been archived and deleted
Incorrect: Errors occurred during archiving; postprocessing is necessary

You cannot use the "Delete" and "Reload" functions until all the data has been archived.

Deleting Archived Data

For information about deleting archived data, see the report documentation for report RFTBARC2.

Reloading Archived Data

For information about reloading archived data, see the report documentation for report RFTBARC3.

Result

After archiving, the selected data is copied to an external memory. However, the data still exists in the limit system.
After deletion, the data that has previously been archived is deleted from the limit system.
After reloading, the selected data is restored to the limit system.

Note Note

For more information about archiving, see the documentation CA - Archiving and Deletion of Application Data. To display archived data, you can use the Archive Information System. The system contains the following archive information structures: SAP_TRTM_LM_EXP as well as SAP_TRTM_LM_LIM.
