Assigning Home Paths of the Store to XML DAS Archiving (ABAP)

Use

The home paths for the XML archiving objects (for XML DAS data archiving) used in AS ABAP are predefined.

A home path leads to the home collection in an archive store. The home collection is the starting node of the archiving store structure, under which the Java applications create their own hierarchies for storing resources. The system ( XML DAS ) creates the structure nodes above the home collection (collection type System ). The application creates the structure nodes below the home collection (collection type Application ).

To provide the home paths under which applications store XML archive files (resources) for XML DAS data archiving, you need to perform the following activities:

Check the technical settings of each XML archiving object for each client. Check that the home paths are available.
Synchronize the home paths in the metadata of the XML DAS before you start archiving or introducing a new XML archiving object,
Assign the home paths to the stores in XML DAS Administration (AS Java).

Prerequisites

You have created and activated an HTTP connection to XML-DAS for each client.

Procedure

1. For each Client: Check the technical settings for the home paths and the availability of the home paths

Call transaction SARA in the application system (AS ABAP).
Enter the XML archiving object and choose Customizing (Basic Customizing) Customizing for Home Paths.

The standard home path /<SYSID>/<CLIENT>/<OBJECT>/ is assigned to the logical home path DEFAULT_WITH_CLIENT.

Note

You assign the logical home path to the XML archiving object in the technical settings of archiving-object-specific Customizing.

Recommendation

We recommend that you use the client-specific standard home path. Assign the home path only for application-specific, justifiable exceptions.

2. Synchronize the home paths in the XML DAS metadata

Call transaction SARA in the application system (AS ABAP).
Enter the XML archiving object and choose Customizing (Basic Customizing) Synchronization of Home Paths.
Select Production Mode and trigger the synchronization.

3. Assign home paths to archive stores

On the AS Java that runs XML DAS, start NetWeaver Administrator (NWA) .
Choose Operations Data and Databases XML DAS Administration.

Note

You can use the quick link /nwa/xmldas to call up XML DAS Administration .
Choose the Archiving Hierarchy and Storage Assignment tab page.
In the structure, use the symbols (show legend) to see whether a home path has been assigned to an archive store.
To assign an as yet unassigned home path to an archive store, proceed as follows:
1. Select the home path.
2. In the list of properties, select the archive store.
3. Choose Assign .
  
  Note
  
  If you have made an incorrect home path assignment, you can reset the assignment. Make sure that you have not stored any resources on the home path. In the list of properties, select the home path Reset Assignment .
