Using Java Archiving Cockpit

Context

In AS Java, the standard Java Archiving Cockpit is available for executing data archiving. It offers functions for manual scheduling or data archiving sessions as well as for the configuration of Archiving Sets . The Java archiving cockpit also contains the Archiving Monitor with which you can check the status of the archiving sessions.

The advantage of the archiving cockpit is that it automatically creates the home paths you need in order to store archived resources.

Procedure

  1. In the application system (AS Java), call up SAP NetWeaver Administrator ( NWA ).
  2. Select Start of the navigation pathOperations Next navigation step Data and Databases Next navigation step Java Archiving CockpitEnd of the navigation path.
  3. Use the Java Archiving Cockpit functions to execute archiving.

    Description

    Archiving Monitor

    The monitor displays the archiving sessions with the related information. You can manage the list of archiving sessions as follows:

    • Refresh to include sessions started in the meantime.

    • Remove archiving session (just from this list, not from the store hierarchy).

    • Cancel archiving sessions

      If you cancel the writing of data to the archive file, you can delete the data from resources that have already been written. If you want to write or delete the remaining data, you need to start a new session.

    Hierarchy

    In the hierarchy view, you can view the hierarchy view for all systems in which archiving sets are available, even if you have not archived any data so far.

    You can view all archiving sessions and you status (display legend). You can also add or delete collections manually as well as branch directly to the scheduling of write or deletions runs.

    Write

    This is where you schedule the write run for each archiving set (if the archiving set supports this activity). To do so, you need to make the following technical settings:

    • XML Parsing : Select one of the following values:

      Parsing: Checks whether a resource in syntactically correct

      Validate: Checks the validity of the resource according to the relevant XML schema

    • Simulation: Use these settings for tests.

    • Path extensions: You can extend the home path under which the resource is to be stored. The standard system suggest the current date as the extension.

    • Comment: You can overwrite the comments suggested by the system.

    Delete

    This is where you schedule the deletion run for each archiving set that supports this activity.

    Configuration

    This is where you add or delete properties for archiving sets or property values. SAP supplies standard properties:

    • AHOME: This property is assigned by default. You can change only your value, the home path. To do so, note the following syntax: /<SYSID>/<Archivierungsset>/.

    • WSTART You can assign this property if you want to allow additional write runs for the archiving set, although write runs with errors exist.
