Archiving of Payment Data from Payment Runs (FI_MKKPAYH)

You can reduce the burden on your database by archiving payment data from payment runs that you no longer need online. This data is then deleted from the database and written to an archive file. The management data of the payment runs remains on the database. It is not possible to reload the data.

Archiving takes place using the archiving object FI_MKKPAYH.

Structure

The archiving object has the following structure:

Structure	Structure Name
DPAYH	Payment Data of Payment Run Header
DPAYP	Payment Data of Payment Run Items
DPAYC	Payment Data of Payment Run Management Records

Tables

You can display a list of the generated database tables that the archiving object FI_MKKPAYH accesses. To do so, in archive administration, choose the Database Tables pushbutton. From these generated tables, you can write data to archive files and, in the deletion phase, you can remove this data from the database.

The data of table DPAYC (management records) remain on the database. The data of tables DPAYG (grouping data) and DPAYV (variants) is not archived, just deleted.

Data Object

The data object encompasses all payment data generated with a payment run. The system writes the data objects sequentially to an archive file. The data objects all have the same structure in accordance with the description in the archiving object.

Programs

The archiving object FI_MKKPAYH uses the following programs:

Program	Function
RFKPYARC01	Archiving of Payment Data from Payment Runs
RFKPYARC02	Deletion of Payment Data from Payment Runs

For the deletion program, SAP provides the standard variants SAP&PROD (update mode) and SAP&TEST (test mode).

Call

You archive (and also delete) using the SAP standard tool for archiving, the Archive Development Kit. You can use archive administration (transaction SARA), or you can choose the appropriate transaction directly from the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Periodic Processing Next navigation step Archive Data Payment Data from Payment Runs End of the navigation path .

Note for Integration with SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management

The current archiving object is integrated with SAP NetWeaver ILM.

If you have configured SAP NetWeaver ILM and this archiving object accordingly, the write program that generates the archive files displays the ILM Actions group box. In this group box, you can choose one of the following radio buttons:

Archiving
Snapshot
Data Destruction

For more information, see the documentation for these radio buttons in the system and in the application help for SAP NetWeaver ILM.
