Procedure documentationArchiving and Destroying Data about External Persons Using HRLSO_H

 

You can use the archiving object HR: External Person (HRLSO_H) to archive or destroy data about external persons (object type H) in SAP Learning Solution. External persons are participants in a training course or the instructor, who can belong to an external organization (for example company) and does not come from the pool or participants or instructors (personnel master data, applicant master data, user master data, and so on).

The archiving object HRLSO_H supports the SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) function for the destruction of data. In ILM, you specify the rules for retaining external persons.

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.
