Definition

An archiving object ( EIS_CFnnn , where nnn stands for the aspect number) and the relevant read, write and reload programs are generated during the generation of an aspect. These archiving objects are used in the Executive Information System (EC-EIS) application component for the archiving of the aspect’s transaction data.

Use

You can use the EIS_CFnnn archiving object to archive, delete and reload transaction data according to your own specific requirements.

We recommend that you archive small data sets at regular intervals (for example, weekly, monthly). Archive rarely-used data sets which you do not wish to report on any more. However, if at a later date you require access to this data, you can reload it.

If you carry out an aspect summarization, change the structure of the data in the database. To be sure, you should make a data backup before carrying out such a function. Use the archiving functions to make a copy of your data.
