Procedure documentationActivating Storage and Retention Service (SRS) for ILM Stores

 

To use Storage and Retention Service (SRS) for managing ILM stores, you need to activate SRS in the application system. The application system in which you use SAP NetWeaver ILM is either a live application system or a Retention Warehouse system.

To activate SRS, the following options are available:

  • Activate the SRS that runs locally in the application system.

  • Activate the SRS that runs on a separate (remote) system. For this option, you need an HTTP connection between the relevant systems.

Procedure

If SRS runs in the application system: Activate the local SRS for each client

  1. In the ILM cockpit (for each client in the application system), choose Start of the navigation path Services for Settings Next navigation step Settings for Data Archiving End of the navigation path.

    Note Note

    You can also call up transaction SARA in the relevant client of the application system and choose the following path: Start of the navigation path Customizing Next navigation step Cross-Archiving-Object Customizing Next navigation step Technical Settings End of the navigation path.

    End of the note.
