Archiving in SAP Event Management

If you no longer need event handlers, event messages, or event handler sets, you can either archive and delete them, or you can delete them without previously archiving them. If you delete event handlers, event messages, or event handler sets, SAP Event Management also deletes any existing change documents (see Logging with Change Documents).

You can archive the following business objects in SAP Event Management:

Document Category	Archiving Object
Event handlers	/SAPTRX/A0
Event messages	/SAPTRX/A1
Event handler sets	SAPTRX_A2
Event handlers	SAPTRX_EH
Event messages	SAPTRX_EVM

In addition to calling archiving via the archive administration (transaction SARA), you can also schedule archiving as a regular background job.

Implementation Considerations

You have specified the archiving object-specific Customizing for the archiving objects. For more information, see Customizing for SAP Event Management under Archive and Delete SAP Event Management Objects Define Archiving-Object-Specific Customizing . The following archiving objects are delivered for SAP Event Management:

Archiving object for event handlers/SAPTRX/A0
Archiving object for event messages/SAPTRX/A1
Archiving object for event handler setsSAPTRX_A2

The following archiving objects are delivered for SAP Event Management for an archiving concept for scenarios with a high data volume:

Archiving object for event handlers SAPTRX_EH
Archiving object for event messages SAPTRX_EVM

These two archiving objects support Information Lifecycle Management (ILM). You can enable ILM rules supplied by SAP to control periods for the retention of archived data to meet legal requirements and for the residence of data in the database of the application system. For more information on ILM for SAP Event Management, see Customizing for SAP Event Management under Archive and Delete SAP Event Management Objects Define Archiving-Settings for ILM .

For more information about the archiving in scenarios with a high data volume, see Data Archiving for High Data Volumes.

Note Note

If you have decided on a specific archiving concept, switching to another one leads to a disruption. You cannot seamlessly access data from different archive sources.

End of the note.
