Below are the function modules i am using for Archiving and deletion.

ARCHIVE_NEW_OBJECT

ARCHIVE_PUT_RECORD

ARCHIVE_SAVE_OBJECT

ARCHIVE_WRITE_STATISTICS

ARCHIVE_CLOSE_FILE

ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_DELETE

ARCHIVE_GET_CUSTOMIZING_DATA

When i check in the below metioned link it was mentioned that Archiving and Deletion cant be done in the same program for security reasons.

Please help me out how this can be achived in same program.

Hi,

Keeping security as major reason Archiving data and deletion of archived data happens in 2 different program. Deletion program reads the archive file to be completed successfully & then deletes the data from the database.

1. If SAP by mistake if it has provided a functionality to archive and delete in the same program then inform to SAP with archiving object since it is out of SAP base line rules of archiving.

2. Can you please specify which is that archiving object?

If you customize Deletion job automatically then after the write job is completed successfully then deletion program will be triggered.

If your business requires to have same program to archive and delete data then you have to go with custom program otherwise your new program will be very much useful and help you to cross check at all steps.

-Thanks,
