You can archive change records for all changes to profiles.

The archiving object US_PROF is used to archive change records for changes to authorization profiles from table USH10.

Unless you are archiving very many change records, an archiving run should have no significant effect on the performance of your system. A profile change record requires between 0.5 and 1 KB (uncompressed).

Archiving profile change records does not have any effect on other archivable data. There are no particular dependencies or relationships between profile change records and other archivable data.

SAP recommends a storage duration of 10 years for all user and authorization change records.

Change records are archived according to the date that you specify. All records older than the date specified are archived. Old archives are not automatically deleted.

The log files generated by archiving and deleting records are stored in the SAP spool system. The archiving log records the number of change records archived. The delete log lists the change records that were deleted after the archiving session.

The archiving function calls the standard archiving interface, where the correct archiving object is already specified.

You need only specify (or create) an appropriate report variant, specify the start time and printing specifications for the background processing of the report, and schedule the report with Create job.

See also the documentation on the archiving procedure in general. You will find this documentation in the first section of this document.

You must explicitly delete archived records after an archiving session has been successfully completed. Be sure to check the archiving log to be sure that the archiving session has been completed successfully. Also, be sure that you specify the same date for the deletion program. Otherwise, too many or too few change records will be deleted.
