SAP Data Archiving using Open Text

Former Member — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 13:08:40 GMT

Deal All,

We want to archive some huge tables from our SAP Server. We are having some doubts please clarify.

If we Use Open Text for archiving, what are the benefits we get. And how the connectivity will be established between SAP and Open Text Server. is it a simple RFC using SM59?

If some tables are archived and later if we migrate our Database and OS what would be the issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Krishna G.

Hi Krishna,

1. With OpenText Data Archiving for SAP Solutions:

Accelerate backup and recovery times
Reduce administrative and hardware costs
Decrease the time it takes to implement SAP upgrades
Ensure compliance and reduce risks by secure long-term archiving of SAP data
Improve system SAP performance, response time and system availability
Reduce administration effort and resource consumption of the SAP database
Instant access to historical data within your business context
Reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of your SAP system

2. Connectivity to openText server will be established using OAC0 tcode where you have to maintain content repository name and HTTP url + port details and all that

3. I don't see any issues here. No post processing or re-configuration is required in such case. Works as it was before upgrade/migration of SAP system
