Which are the consultants that mainly involve in SAP Archiving Project?

Archiving is a complex project, Project team and the LOB's would need to choose their archiving objects based on the system usage and data retention policies of the company and even local legislation. So, deciding who will be involved basically depends on what data is going to be archived.

What is the role of SAP BASIS person in SAP Archiving??

Main task initially is the setup/maintainance of the Archive Repository. Usually an HTTP repository is the weapon of choice. Do you know what are they using?.

Later, you'll be looking into monitoring of archiving jobs, troubleshooting, a reorganization possibly will be required, performace tunning, etc...

Hi Joydeep,

Archiving primarily is a functional project. The functional teams would do all the planning and decide on what needs to be archived. The objects, the tables etc. A lot of customizing in SARA,DB15,FILE etc would be done by them. May be they will involve you for actually doing the hands-on but the show would be driven by them. You will of course be responsible in hardware procurements and connectivities.Apart from this you have to schedule the jobs and monitor them and system performance when archiving runs are happening. So you will be assisting functional team mainly but if you have a good understanding of archiving process you can always chip in with your ideas. I mean after-all Basis guys are the smartest of the lot

With Regards.
