Setting Platform-independent Filenames (CA-ARC)  

  1. Call the Archive Management.
  2. Enter the name of the archiving object and press Enter.
  3. Choose the Customizing function.
  4. In archiving object-specific customizing choose Technical Settings.
  5. In the logical filename field enter a filename that refers to the exchange directory of the attached SAP ArchiveLink archive system. For example, the logical filename ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE_WITH_ARCHIVE_LINK. The system delivers the following standard defined filename:

<PARAM_1>_<PARAM_3>_<DATE>_<TIME>_<PARAM_2>.ARCHIVE

Two character application abbreviation to classify the archive files in the system. The value is derived from the definition of the relevant archiving object.

Single character alpha-numeric counter (0-9, A-Z). The value is increased by the ADK when a new archive file is created.

A multiple character string containing the name of the archiving object. The value is given the name of the archiving object at runtime. In archive management, this enables you to check the file contents or to store the archives by archiving objects.

In the previous screen you can also branch to platform-independent filename maintenance. The path can be found automatically using the runtime variable <F=ARCHIVELINK>, if you use this runtime variable in the specification of the physical path. For example, the physical path could be: ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH_WITH_ARCHIVE_LINK. See the FILE transaction documentation for further information.
