Reload archived file on another sap system

[former_member204787]

Dear Experts,

We have multiple plants in sap system maintained with different clients.  For example Plant A , Plant B, Plant C. Is it possible to migrate plant data from one SAP System to new sap system. we have a Plan to provide separate systems as per plant. For example If i do archiving Plant B of customizing data and  belonging dependent data records( SO,PR,..) and  reload in to new sap system ?  If so how can i access on new system ?

Any advice on techniques or procedure would be greatly appreciated.

Reg,

chandu.

This is unfortunately a little bit to naive.

Archiving is only possible for master and transaction data, but not for customizing

Archiving is only possible for closed business cases.

In most Archiving objects it is not foreseen to reload it into the database.

Archiving is not a 1:1 copy of your data, SAP is collecting data from many tables and put this together into 1 archiving record, this record is even reduced to the necessary data, many flags will not go into the archive as they are only needed to control the execution during runtime. If the archive is missing this data, then it cannot be expected to reload the data from the archive.

What you want is as complex  as a new rollout, and it usually requires exact the same steps (except training), you need to create master data (extending existing records) like in a migration.

Within the same client it can be a little less effort than in different clients, but even this depends on the skills of those who execute the migration. Some have less issues creating new record than extending existing records.

Depending on the volume and the scope of migration objects we usually have smaller projects which can be from a few days to several months.
