You can reduce the burden on your database by archiving security deposits that you no longer need online. This data is then deleted from the database and written to an archive file. The management data of the payment runs remains on the database. It is not possible to reload the data.
Archiving takes place using the archiving object FI_MKKSEC
.
The archiving object has the following structure:
Structure | Structure Name |
| Security deposit |
| Contracts for security deposit |
| Non-cash security deposit |
| Request documents for security deposits |
You can display a list of the database tables that archiving object FI_MKKSEC
accesses. To do so, in archive administration, choose the Database Tables
pushbutton. From these tables, you can write data to archive files and, in the deletion phase, you can remove this data from the database.
The data object consists of a security deposit. The system writes the data objects sequentially to an archive file. The data objects all have the same structure in accordance with the description in the archiving object.
The archiving object FI_MKKSEC
uses the following programs:
Program | Function |
| Archiving of security deposits |
| Deletion of security deposits |
| Reloading of security deposits |
For the deletion program, SAP provides the standard variants SAP&PROD
(update mode) and SAP&TEST
(test mode).
You archive (and also delete) using the SAP standard tool for archiving, the Archive Development Kit. You can use archive administration (transaction SARA
) or you can choose the transaction directly from the SAP Easy Access screen under .
Note for Integration with SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management
The current archiving object is integrated with SAP NetWeaver ILM.
If you have configured SAP NetWeaver ILM and this archiving object accordingly, the write program that generates the archive files displays the ILM Actions
group box. In this group box, you can choose one of the following radio buttons:
Archiving
Snapshot
Data Destruction
For more information, see the documentation for these radio buttons in the system and in the application help for SAP NetWeaver ILM.
