Archiving IDocs
Use
IDocs are archived in several tables in the database. To limit the size (and thus the access times) of these tables, that is to reduce the load on the database without losing any IDocs, they can also be stored in archives at the operating system level. These archives can then be moved to external storage media, for example optical disks (using ArchiveLink) or magnetic tapes.
