Hi Aditya,
Data Archiving: Data archiving is used to remove large quantities of data that is no longer required in the system, but which is to be retained in an analyzable format.
Data Archiving means the consistent removal of data objects from database
tables of the SAP system database, where all table entries that characterize a data object are written to an archive file outside the database. Business nsistency is ensured by SAP archiving programs that store all relevant table entries together on the basis of archiving objects.
The actual data archiving is a process in three steps:
1. Creating the archive file(s): In the first step, the write program creates one
(or more) archive file(s). The data to be archived is then read from the
database and written to the archive file(s).
2. Storing the archive file(s): After the write program has completed the
creation of the archive files, these can be stored.
3. Deleting the data: the delete program first reads the data in the archive file
and then deletes the corresponding records from the database.
For more information about data archiving, see:
• SAP course BIT660 (Data Archiving)
• The SAP Service Marketplace under the Quick Links /data-archiving and
/archivelink
Hint: Transaction DB15 (menu path Tools u2192 CCMS u2192 DB
Administration u2192 Data Archiving) provides information about which
database tables are associated with which archiving object (and which
archiving objects are associated with which database table).
An archiving run is scheduled using transaction SARA by choosing the Write
button. It is divided into four steps:
1. Create an archiving variant
2. Specify the execution user
3. Specify the start time
4. Definine the spool parameters
Hope it clears your doubt.
Thanks
Kishore
