Retrieving Archived Data (SAP Library - Data Retention Tool (DART) (CA-GTF-DRT))

Retrieving Archived Data

Procedure

In the main DART screen, choose Utilities ® Retrieve archived data.

Enter data as required at the General selections group:

Set one or more of the indicators in the Transaction data group, to specify which data to retrieve from the archive.
If you have previously retrieved archive data, and have not cleared the archive retrieval tables from the R/3 database, then that data may still exist in the database. Any data that you retrieve now is merged with the data retrieved previously. If you wish to only include the data you are currently retrieving, set the Clear previously retrieved data indicator.

Result

The archived data is retrieved into special temporary retrieval tables in the R/3 database, as illustrated below:

From these temporary retrieval tables, the data is available for extraction with the extract utility.
