Data archiving

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I need some information on data archiving in ECC 5.0. We have a large

data (around 1.6 mio) in plant maintenance,under the category

equipment, which we are not using and we want to archive it. If you

have any info on this let me know. I have gone thro the standard

documentation and have tried transaction SARA, but I am unable to

delete the master record after archiving. There is a object in the

standard PM_equi available for this.

Please mail : subodh14@gmail.com

Hi Subodh,

Archiving Master data is a completed activity simply because before you can remove a master record you need to remove all the referrences to that record.

Before you can archive PM_EQUI you will need to archive all the dependents objects. There are about 20 object which are dependent on PM_EQUI. Refer TA: SARA for list of dependents objects. In simple terms before you can archive a Equipment, you will need to archive all the notifications, orders, purchase requisitions, financial documents etc which have a relation to that equipment.

So I suggest you make a analysis and see if you really need to archive euipment manster data.

Hope this info helps.

Kind Regards,

Samanjay
