Archiving Data 

Use

Besides archiving data from InfoCubes and DataStore objects, you can also store it in near-line storage. Using the data archiving process you define whether the data is to be archived based on ADK, stored in near-line storage, or whether you want to use a mix of both. This data archiving process can be scheduled using either a process chain or the ADK. It can also be executed manually.

Prerequisites

You have already loaded data into the InfoProvider.

Procedure

...

       1.      You create a data archiving process for the InfoProvider from which you want to archive data.

For more information, see Creating Data Archiving Processes.

       2.      You generate and then schedule the archiving request. For more information, see:

○       For near-line and ADK-based data archiving processes: Scheduling Data Archiving Processes Using Process Chains

○       For purely ADK-based data archiving processes: Scheduling Data Archiving Processes Using ADK Archive Administration

○       For manual request processing: Creating and Executing Archiving Requests

       3.      You can load archived data back into InfoProviders.

For more information, see Loading Archived Data Using a Data Transfer Process

       4.      In a query, you can access data stored in near-line storage.
