The network graphic displays the dependencies between archiving objects and schedules archiving sessions.

You must account for dependencies between archiving objects in an archiving session. In general, you cannot archive data for an archiving object that has preceding objects until these preceding objects have been archived.

The network graphic tells you whether the archiving object has preceding objects that must be archived first. The nodes in the network graphic represent the archiving objects. A node displays the following information:

• Archiving object name

• Application component name

• Short description

• Date of the last archiving
  The date is displayed in one of three colors:

• Green
  Archiving and deletion successful
• Yellow
  Successfully archived, but not yet deleted, or
  Archiving still running, or
  Deletion running, or
  Deletion cancelled
• Red
  Not yet archived, or
  Archiving cancelled

You can use the network graphic to call archive management at the same time as the required object name:

1. To call archive management, double-click on the action you want to perform (for example, archive or delete). You access archive management. The name of the archiving object is copied automatically.
2. You can now choose the action that you want to carry out and create the relevant background job.
