Use

Program RSLDARCH02 deletes table log entries from the database that were transmitted to an archive. Such archives are generated by the archiving program RSLDARCH01. The delete program is automatically executed after an archiving run. At the start of the archiving you can set whether the deletion should actually take place, or whether a delete log should just be created in a test run, without actually removing the data from the database. The automatic start of the delete program can be activated and deactivated in archiving objects maintenance. The deletion program is called using archive adminstration, either automatically after the archiving, or explicitly by the user. It is executed in the background.

Prerequisites

No preparation is necessary to run the program. However, it only makes sense to run it if there are archives for which there is not yet a deletion program.

Result

  • The log records of the archive for which the delete program was called have been removed from the database.

  • A delete log is created which informs you about the number of data records that have actually been deleted. You can access this log from archive administration. If the program is only executed in a test run, no log records are deleted. Only one delete log is created which gives an overview of the data to be deleted.
