Storing Archive FilesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

Data records are retrieved from the database table to reduce the size of the database tables available in the system. There can be two reasons for this:

  • System requirements (releasing storage space in the database, improving performance)

  • Legal guidelines (country-specific storage requirements, data accessibility for external auditors, potential reusability of data)

Prerequisites

You can only store archive files that have been created using the Archive Development Kit (ADK).

Process

For Release 4.6C, the SAP Content Management Service (CMS) has enhanced the storing of ADK files in a storage system using ArchiveLink. This has no effect on ArchiveLink functions or implementation. You can also still continue to use the same storage systems, no additional certification is necessary.

For more information on this procedure, see the SAP Data Archiving documentation.
