Delete Program
The delete program for an archiving object deletes the data that has been prepared for destruction from the archive system and from the operational system, and thereby destroys it in terms of data privacy.
The delete program performs the following functions in particular:
Reads the temporary archive file created by the write program
Deletes the data from the database tables as well as from the archive files
Only one archive file is ever processed at once. Multiple delete programs can run simultaneously, but each program deletes only one archive file.
Note
If the archiving object has a preprocessing program, the delete program starts automatically after the write program.
If there is no preprocessing program, you need to start the delete program manually after the write program.
