Archiving Table Change Logs (SAP Library - Data Archiving (CA-ARC))

Archiving Table Change Logs

Definition

The archiving object BC_DBLOGS is used for archiving customizing table change logs. The R/3 System logs customizing table changes if:

...

1. The Log data changes flag is set in the technical settings for the table.

2. Logging is active.

Note

Logging can be activated and deactivated for a particular client using the profile parameter rec/client.

Use

It is recommended that you archive the change logs periodically, for example, quarterly or annually.

Structure

The logs are saved in the table DBTABLOG. The archiving object archives this table only.

BC_DBLOGS has the following functions:

Function/report assignment

Functions	Report
Archiving	RSLDARCH01
Deleting	RSLDARCH02
Evaluating	RSLDARCH03 (for the entire archiving session)

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

The analysis prints out the archive contents. You can conveniently evaluate and print the table logs using the Structure link IMG Log (transaction scu3).

Caution

Archiving automatically generates a comment in the archiving session management entry. This comment contains the time period that was archived. The text should not be deleted.

Integration

This archiving object does not depend on any other archiving objects.

Log entries are archived independently of the client.
