Special Features of a Semantically Partitioned Object
Concept
When you create a data archiving process for a semantically partitioned object, the process applies to the entire object.

The partition criteria are listed under Additional Partitioning Characteristics and cannot be changed.
Time-Dependent Partitioning
With time-dependent partitioning, whole partitions can be archived, with the result that these partitions are empty. You can then either delete or repartition thsese partitions.

Non-Time Dependent Partitioning
With non-time dependent partitioning (by sales organization, for example) only parts of the partitions are archived. This does not result in any empty partitions (as opposed to time-dependent archiving).
