Example: Business Transactions and Archiving Objects
Before you can create an archiving concept for your company, you must first analyze your business transactions with regard to data archiving. The following table details examples of how the required data can be gathered.

After you have analyzed the business transactions that are relevant for archiving, you can then determine the share of your overall business that is fulfilled by the transaction in question. The resulting information is then used to determine how long the data has to be retained in the system (residence time) and how often archiving should be run in your system.
