Archiving project team

Former Member — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 05:15:57 GMT

Hello All,

I don't know whether this is the correct forum to post my confusion.Apologies if I had posted it in wrong place.

I need your assistance in getting few things cleared up.

I am having 1 1/2 yrs of data archiving experience in my total 2 yrs of total IT in SAP application.In my first project, I was in an archiving team of 5 members.

Manager working on site and me(as a technical consultant),an FI consultant,a MM consultant in off site. I was very much comfortable working there and enjoyed learning archiving process.

Recently I got a new project. The client wanted to implement archiving process.Here I was the only one doing doing everything as a technical and touching functional areas and not to mention the managerial activities of project planning and estimating. As a technical person I am facing difficulties in understanding the business.I gave a suggestion to my manager to have a team which includes a basis,a dba, and business analysts in each module.But they are reluctant. I have done some research of my own and to my understanding to implement a good archiving strategy we need to have a dedicated team of consultants(basis,dba,technical) interacting with business users

My question is Is it OK to have a single person handle the entire archiving project. And that person having only technical areas as his competency.

I would appreciate if any body can share his thoughts on ways to improve my gray areas.I definitely want to deliver my best.

Thanks,

Geetha.

Hi Geetha,

Information on Archiving Objects, number of archiving objects and duration of your project can help in giving right information.

However below are few tips that can help you.

If DaRT is implemented in your project then DaRT expert is required.
FI, SD, MM, PP, Technical archiving object can be archived with one Archiving Analyst who is having good experience can handle it. But if your project requires to create Design document, configuration document, User Acceptance document, Trouble shooting document then it may require assistance of one more Archiving Analyst.
If you are having enough knowledge on single archiving document retrival technique,

-knowledge on residence time management of all the AO that are implemented,

-Information on selection creteria during write variant creation,

- knowledge on architecture of systems will help in handling alone. Best of Luck of your project.

Reward if it benifits.

-Thanks,

Ajay

Hi Geeta,

If you wish to inform the type of archive objects and the number of archive objects in ur project, then i can give u a tentative estimated time for archiving the objects with a proper reasoning.I can also tell you the number of people requires for this archiving object.

Also please let me know if there is DaRT in your project.

What should be the answer for the following question:

The following archiving objects normally plan an important role when running an archiving project in retail:

1. Article master records (MM_MATNR) True / False

2. Article documents (MM_MATBEL) True / False

3. Billing documents (SD_VBRK) True / False

4. Additional documents (WTADDL) True / False

5. Site master records (WS_ACSITE) True / False

When should you run an archiving project? (Tell Me the Exact Answer)

1. Immediate

2. At the latest of the 1 year it can be done

3. When the storage devices are became critical or damaged

4. When the system performance or storage reaches 80% of critical stage
