Application Customizing
(BC-SRV-ARL) 
As well as basic Customizing for archiving, you must make settings in ArchiveLink basic Customizing for the generation of link entries:
· Maintain document types and classes
· Maintain storage systems
· Maintain links and link tables
You must also define retention times for the link entries.
For information about ArchiveLink Customizing, see
Basic Customizing. You can also find the IMG activities for ArchiveLink in the
Implementation Guide (IMG), under SAP
Web Application Server ® Basis Services ® ArchiveLink ® Basic
Customizing.
You should maintain retention times when you maintain the links. The retention period is the number of months after which a link entry for a stored document can be removed from the link table.
For more information on setting or changing the retention period, see Setting Retention Periods (BC-SRV-ARL).
