 Archiving in Advertising Management

Purpose

Archiving functions in Advertising Management are used to archive data that you no longer require in the system.

Integration

Archiving in Advertising Management is based on a standard archiving application.

Features

Archiving

Almost all of the standard archiving functions are available to you in the Advertising Management System. The following documentation describes characteristics of the archiving functions in IS-M/AM.

Archiving functions for archiving objects in Advertising Management are integrated in the menus. The menu contains all parameter transactions that have been created for the SARA (archive administration) transaction in Advertising Management . Archive administration functions are therefore available to you from the menu when you access the archiving functions.

You can also use a check report in Advertising Management to determine whether a document can be archived. This report checks whether successor documents exist for the documents specified and highlights the documents that can be archived and those that cannot be archived using different colors in the list. This function is more extensive than the standard network graphics function.

Archived files cannot be reloaded into the Advertising Management System.

Archiving objects in Advertising Management do not require pre or postprocessing.

The following Advertising Management objects can be archived:

Archiving data for condition records can be reloaded.
