Reorganizing Event History

Context

To prevent event history from growing too big, you can configure the system to delete (reorganize) log entries that are older than a particular number of days. Entries are deleted by a predefined standard job.

You can set a different number of days for entries in status New and in status Confirmed. For more information about event status, see Event Status.

The reorganization settings are stored in reorganization profiles which can be active and inactive. The system reorganizes EH as per the settings of the active profile. You can have many profiles but only one of them can be active.

SAP delivers a predefined profile SAP Default.
