Scheduling Data Archiving Processes Using ADK Archive Administration

Prerequisites

You have created a data archiving process with ADK-based archiving.

Procedure

Archiving Data

  1. Call archive administration (transaction SARA).

  2. Create an archiving variant. See Maintaining Variants.

  3. Schedule the archiving session. This allows you to test it in test mode first, before starting the actual archiving session in productive mode.

You can find a detailed description of the procedure under Scheduling Preprocessing Programs and Creating Archive Files.

Deleting Archived Data:

Once the archiving session has been completed, you can delete data from the database using the selection criteria in the archiving session.

You are in the initial screen in Archive Administration. Choose Delete.

For a more detailed description of the procedure, see Deleting Data from the Database.

For more information about archive administration, see Archive Administration.
