Archiving data

[Former Member]

Hi,

please give me solution for how to archiving data from system ?

[Former Member]

which data? are you aware, how many archiving objects there are?

explore t-code SARA. there's tons of documentation on help.sap.com for every object available.

but first: make a concept.

Archiving is done for each area seperately. For example if the FI data is to be archived there are archiving objects available with their names starting with FI_*.

Each archiving object comprises of tables with a logical grouping.

There are different operations in archiving: Writing, Deleting, Post processing, Storage Management.

The start point for all archiving is the transaction code SARA.

All information is further available with http://help.sap.com.

actually this is not correct. various entry-points can be found along the SAP-Menu, for example: ME98 (to get the whole tree use SEARCH_SAP_MENU). most objects have been integrated into their 'modules'.

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
