Use

In an operative BI system, the volume of data increases constantly. Constant changes to business and legal requirements mean that this data must be available for longer. Since keeping a large volume of data in the system affects performance and increases administration efforts, we recommend that you implement a data aging strategy.

Advantages of a data aging strategy:

     Reduced costs for managing and saving data

     Improved performance of the BI system

     Efficient storage of historic data for comprehensive enterprise data warehousing

Prerequisites

You have loaded data to your InfoProvider, possibly over a long period of time.

Features

Information Lifecycle Management allows you to classify data according to how current it is and archive it or store it in near-line storage.
