Prerequisites

The programs you enter must already exist in the system.

Procedure

  1. Call transaction AOBJ.
  2. Choose New Entries and enter the following data:

Name of the program that writes the archive files

Setting this indicator means the archiving object supports Interruption and Continuation of an Archiving Session. If you set this, the write program must also handle the interruption request. This indicator must not be set if the Do Not Start Before End of Write Phase is set.

If this indicator is set, the delete programs do not start until the write program is finished. To actually start the delete phase immediately, the Start automatic. indicator must be set in archiving-object-specific Customizing.

Note

This indicator should not be set for most archiving objects. Before you set this indicator, decide whether you actually need to use this indicator or can do without it.

If this indicator is set, no new archiving session is generated when reloading archiving sessions. The reload program is not authorized to call the function module ARCHIVE_SAVE_OBJECT.

Name of the program for building indexes

If this indicator is set, the Archive Selection pushbutton is displayed in transaction SARA for building and deleting indexes. If you select archive files using variants, do not set this indicator.

Name of the program for deleting indexes

If this indicator is set, an index can be created for this archiving object. For more information, see Creating ADK Indexes and Using Them to Access Archive. The actual index creation can be controlled by a Customizing entry.

If this indicator is set, the "Invalid" indicator for archiving sessions cannot be reset in archive management once it is set.

Indicates the archiving object was generated.

Note

As of SAP Web Application Server 6.10 write and delete programs can no longer be generated at runtime.

Name of the document containing information about the object-specific write program

Name of the document containing information about the object-specific reload program.

Name of the document containing information about the object-specific read program.

Note

You create the documents using the documentation maintenance transaction (SE61).

  1. Save your entries and return to the initial screen of transaction AOBJ.

Result

Your new archiving object is included in the list of archiving objects in the system. You can now create additional information about your archiving object by selecting the line and choosing one of the actions under Archiving Object.
