Procedure documentationCreating a Preprocessing Variant for HRCDENT

 

The system uses the preprocessing program RPUPADDE_DN_PRE to select the reporting data that is to be destroyed.

To run preprocessing for the destruction of data, you always need to create a variant (or select an existing variant). For this purpose, you have the following selection criteria and options for process control available:

  • Personnel Number

    You can restrict the selection to the data records that belong to the personnel number entered. You use this parameter primarily in test mode.

  • Select Data Until

    You enter a date until which data records are to be selected. This date is for preselection purposes for performance reasons, to restrict the number of selected data records. The system selects all data records with a start date that is before or on this date. The date until which data can actually be destroyed is determined by the preprocessing program.

  • Archiving Subobject

    You specify the type of reporting data you want to destroy. For more information, see Archiving Subobject.

  • Test Run

    If you select this checkbox, the preprocessing program is run in test mode.

    If you do not select this checkbox, the preprocessing program is run in productive mode.

  • Detailed Log

    If you select this checkbox, a detailed log is generated. Use this option only to perform an error analysis in test mode. Since the log is very detailed, you must not use it in productive mode.

Procedure

  1. Start Archive Administration (transaction SARA).

  2. Enter the Archiving Object and choose Preprocessing.
