Information Lifecycle Management  Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Information Lifecycle Management in SAP NetWeaver BI includes strategies and methods for optimal data retention and history keeping. It allows you to classify data according to how current it is and archive it or store it in near-line storage. This reduces the volume of data in the system, improves the performance, and reduces the administrative overhead.

Archiving solutions can be used for InfoCubes and DataStore objects. The central object is the data archiving process. When defining the data archiving process, you can choose between classic ADK archiving, near-line storage, and a mixture of both solutions. We recommend near-line storage for data that might no longer be needed. Storing historical data in near-line storage reduces the data volume of InfoProviders; however, the data is still available for reporting and analysis. Certified partners offer integrated near-line storage tools in SAP NetWeaver BI.
