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
You have loaded data to your InfoProvider, possibly over a long period of time.
Information Lifecycle Management allows you to classify data according to how current it is and archive it or store it in near-line storage.
