Background documentationChecks for /IAM/ISSUE

 

The preprocessing program checks whether archiving can run for the selected issues based on the lifecycle status.

Note Note

The residence time is already taken into account in the selection criteria for the preprocessing program (see Creating Preprocessing Variants for /IAM/ISSUE).

End of the note.

If the check was successful, the program sets the archiving status Marked for Archiving.

For reasons of consistency, only complete issue hierarchy branches can be archived when archiving issues. That means, all subissues (defects, effects, causes) belonging to an issue must be archived as well. The assigned activities must already have been archived or be marked for archiving (see also Archiving Activities with /IAM/ACT).

Features

Issues can only be archived if they have one of the following lifecycle statuses:

  • Completed (09)

  • Canceled (10)

  • Flagged for Deletion (64)

The corresponding defects, effects, and causes are archived as well, regardless of their lifecycle status.

The activities belonging to the issue or subissue must have one of the following archiving statuses:

  • Marked for Archiving (02)

  • Archived (03)
