Archive Administration Data (BC-CCM-ADK)
Setting the To Be ArchivedIndicator
Before you can archive the administration data of archiving sessions, you must indicate that these sessions are ready to be archived. You have two options for setting this indicator:
- manually (for individual sessions)
- automatically (for several sessions; mass processing)
Setting the To Be Archived Indicator Manually
- Call Archive Administration (transaction SARA) and enter the archiving object for which you want to archive administration data.
- Choose Management to display the relevant administration data.
- Double click the desired archiving session and in the dialog box that appears choose the change mode.
- Choose the To Be Archived indicator. Sessions for which you set the indicator in this manner appear subsequently as Archiving Sessions Marked for Deletion in Archive Administration.
Setting the To Be Archived Indicator Automatically
If you want to archive the administration data of several archiving sessions, it is recommended that you set the To Be Archived indicator automatically through the preprocessing program. The program can process archiving sessions of ADK and XML archiving objects. You can select the archiving sessions to be archived in the selection screen of the preprocessing program, see Variant Settings for Preprocessing (BC-CCM-ADK).
Archiving the Administration Data
In Archive Administration enter the archiving object BC_ARCHIVE and schedule archiving as usual.
You can only archive administration data if no further jobs exist for the selected sessions. This means that there may not be any entries left in the job overview of the archiving object.
The archiving session you started writes the selected session information to one archive and deletes it from the database (whether or not the data is deleted depends on the Customizing settings for the automatic start of the delete program, and the variant you chose). The new archiving session then appears in the archive administration data of BC_ARCHIVE.
