Archiving Transaction Data

You archive POS transaction data or POS aggregates and all related data if they are no longer required in order to reduce the volume of data in your system.

Prerequisites

Ensure that you have completed processing of the POS transactions and POS aggregates and that you no longer require the data.

Prior to archiving POS transactions or POS aggregates, ensure the following:

For all POS transactions for a Store/Date combination selected for archiving, all the tasks for these transactions must have the status Completed, Rejected, or Cancelled.
You no longer require the data you are archiving to be available in SAP Customer Activity Repository.

Procedure

Start transaction SARA and use the following archiving objects:
- /POSDW/TLF for archiving of POS transactions
- /POSDW/AGG for archiving of POS aggregates
You have the following options in each case:
- Write data to an archive
- Delete archived data from the system
- View archived data
For POS transactions, you also have the possibility of reloading archived data into the system.

Alternatively, you can use the relevant reports for archiving of POS transactions and POS aggregates. These run in archive administration in the background:
- Write POS transactions to an archive: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_WRITE
- Delete archived POS transactions from the system: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_DELETE
- Read archived POS transactions: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_READ
- Reload archived POS transactions: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_RELOAD
- Write POS aggregates to an archive: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_WRITE_AGGREGATE
- Delete archived POS aggregates from the system: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_DELE_AGGREGATE
- Read archived POS aggregates: /POSDW/ARCHIVE_READ_AGGREGATE
