Archiving Master Data
(QM-PT)
Definition
Archiving objects
for the archiving of master inspection characteristics (archiving object QM_CHARACT) and inspection methods (archiving object
QM_METHOD) in the Quality Management (QM) application
component.
Use
Archiving objects for master data can be used to archive master data that you no longer need to access in the system. The data is written to archive files, and if this operation is successfully completed, the data is subsequently deleted from the system. You can display the archived data, but there is no provision for the retrieval of previously archived data.
Structure
When
you use the archiving objects QM_METHOD and QM_CHARACT, you archive data from various
tables. For information on how you can display the table names see
Tables and Archiving
Objects.
The following functions are available for QM_METHOD and QM_CHARACT:

Activity |
Report Program |
The preprocessing program changes the status of a master inspection characteristic or inspection method from 3 (no longer used) to 4 (flagged for deletion). Before changing the status, the system checks the residence time of the master record. Status 4 master inspection characteristics or inspection methods are archived during the next archiving session. |
RQRSDM00 RQRSCM00 |
|
The write program writes the database tables for master inspection characteristics or inspection methods that have status 4 to the archive. If the operation is successful, the program deletes the data from the system after archiving, depending on the Customizing settings. |
RQRSDB10 RQRSCB10 |
|
The delete program deletes all database records for master inspection characteristics or inspection methods that were successfully archived. If the delete program is not called up automatically after the activity Archive is successfully completed, you must wait until archiving is completed and then you can schedule this step. Then you can schedule this step. |
RQRSDB11 |
|
You can use this function to display previous archiving sessions. |
