Procedure documentationArchiving and Destroying Courses Data (E-Learning) Using Archiving Object HRLSO_ELRN

 

You can use the archiving object HR: E-Learning (HRLSO_ELRN) to archive or destroy data on e-learning courses, meaning time-independent SAP Learning Solution courses (object type ET). This applies to time-independent courses that are completed and are no longer relevant for education and training processes.

The archiving object HRLSO_ELRN supports the SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) function for the destruction of data. In the Information Retention Manager (IRM), you specify the rules for retaining time-independent courses.

In the write program, you can select ILM actions Archiving and Data Destruction.

  • When running the write program of the archiving object for data destruction, the system performs checks to evaluate these rules and determines which of the selected data can be archived. The data is temporarily written to an archive file. After the write phase, the associated delete program deletes the data from the database and the archive.

  • When running the write program of the archiving object for archiving, the system performs checks to evaluate these rules and determines which of the selected data can be archived. The program writes this data to an archive file. After this has been written, the associated delete program deletes the data from the database. The data remains in the archive file until its subsequent destruction. You can use a read program to access the archived data.

Prerequisites

You have a valid license for SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) and have activated the business function ILM for Information Lifecycle Management in the Switch Framework (transaction SWF5).
