Archiving VersionsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

If the version management data tables VRSX and VRSX2 take up too much space on the database, SAP recommends that you start archiving versions.

Archived versions are displayed in the versions overview, and are marked with an X in the column Arch.

If you choose the options Display or Compare for an archived version the SAP System restores the selected versions from the archive to the database, and then displays them.

You can also restore the complete archive files to the version database.

Note

Archived versions can only be restored to the SAP System from which they were archived.

To archive versions, or restore complete archive files from the database, proceed as follows:

  1. On the SAP Easy Access start screen, choose Start of the navigation path SAP Menü Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step System Administration Next navigation step Administration Next navigation step Data Archiving End of the navigation path.
  2. Enter the archiving object VERSIONS.
