Archive Administration for Request Administration Data 

Use

The archiving runs are displayed in archive administration for the request administration data. Here you can execute various functions for the archiving runs and the request administration in the archiving runs.

Features

The system displays administration information for the archiving run such as the archive name, status, date and time of the archiving run, and the user who performed the archiving run. Furthermore, the system shows, for each archiving run, the total number of requests with archived administration data in the archive, the number of requests that have not been reloaded, and the number of requests that have been reloaded. Equally, the total size of the archive is shown (in bytes) along with the size of the requests that have not been reloaded and the size of the requests that have been reloaded.

In the archive administration for request administration data, you can:

·        Display requests with archived administration data for an archiving run

Select the required archiving run and choose Edit  ® Select.

An overview screen is displayed for the request for which the administration data is archived during this archiving run.

·        Display the selections for an archiving run

Select the required archiving run and choose Edit  ® Archive Selections.

A screen appears. The selection values for the archiving run are displayed on this screen.

·        Reorganize archiving runs

If you edit a request that has archived administration data and the system automatically reloads this data, the administration data for the other requests in the archiving run remain in the archive files. After a period of time, a large number of archiving runs may only contain administration data for a small number of archived requests.

Select the archiving runs that you want to reorganize and choose Archive ®  Reorganize Archive.

The system loads the administration data for the selected archiving run, which has not been yet reloaded, back into the database. It writes the sum of this administration data together in a new archive. The system creates the new reorganized archive and deletes data from the database automatically.

·        Compare archiving runs

Select two archiving runs and choose Archive ® Compare Archives. On the following screen, the system displays whether you have chosen overlapping selections for the archiving runs. In this case, administration data for the same request may be written to two archives.

·        Delete archiving runs from archive administration in BI if they no longer contain administration data for the request

Select the archiving runs that no longer contain archived data and choose Archive ® Delete.

The selected archiving runs are deleted from archive administration in BI. Delete the archive from archive administration too (transaction SARA).

·        Reload archived administration data for a request back into the database tables

Select an archiving run and choose Archive  ® Reload. On the next screen, select the request for which you want to reload administration data and choose Transfer. The administration data is loaded back to the database tables in the dialog.
