SAP supports your data management by providing suitable functions for data archiving and for data retention and data destruction.
Data archiving
An efficient management of data includes the archiving of data belonging to completed business processes. Using data archiving, you can export data that you no longer require in the system, but need to retain for documentation purposes, for example, to an archive file. To reduce the load on the database, the archive file is stored in a file system or content repository and the data is deleted from the database.
Data retention/data destruction
With SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management
(ILM
), SAP provides suitable tools to fulfill legal requirements for the retention of data, and for the destruction of data. For example, you can store rules for retention in ILM Retention Management.
These functions are available for Student Lifecycle Management with the delivery of the following archiving objects:
Archiving Object | Description | Data |
---|---|---|
| Student master data |
|
| Student grant data |
|
| External transcript data |
|
| Student study data |
|
| Fee calculation data |
|
| Activity document data |
|
The archiving objects are based on the Archive Development Kit (ADK)
and use functions of the BOPF archiving adapter.
Note
The archiving objects can only archive data that has already been blocked using the RHIQ_ILM_DATA_BLOCKING
program.
