Use

If the data is written in an archive file or has not yet been deleted from the database, you have to start the deletion program manually.

Example

You create an archive file and start the archiving program. The data records are copied into the archive files, but the system terminates processing while running the deletion program. If this happens, you have to delete the archived data manually.

Recommendation

The deletion run should therefore be carried out as soon as possible after the write run.
