Network Graphik
Use
You can use the network graphic to show any existing dependencies between archiving objects. It shows business process flows and contexts that can influence the archiving sequence. In particular, at the start of an archiving object, you can use the network graphic to obtain a good overview of related documents.
Features
In an archiving session, you must take into account any dependencies between archiving objects that require a specific archiving sequence. In general, you cannot archive data for an archiving object that has preceding objects until these preceding objects have been archived.
You can use the network graphic to determine whether the archiving object that you want to use has preceding objects. If so, the preceding objects should be implemented before the current archiving object. The nodes in the network graphic represent the archiving objects. A node displays the following information:
-
Achiving object name
-
Application name
-
Short description
-
Date of last archiving displayed in the following colors:
-
Green: Archiving and deletion successful
-
Yellow: Successfully archived, but not yet deleted,, or Archiving still running or Delete in progress or Delete canceled
-
Red: Not yet archived or Archiving canceled
-
The network graphic is a standard tool for creating and displaying network plans and hierarchies.
Activities
You can use the network graphic to call Archive Management (transaction SARA) at the same time as the required object name:
-
Double-click the archiving object for which you want to perform an action (such as write or delete).
You access Archive Administration. The system copies the name of the archiving object automatically.
-
You can now select the action that you want to carry out and schedule the relevant background job.
