Archiving Statistics regarding space saved

[Former Member]

I'm doing some IDOC archiving and want to know what the column headings are under the 'Display Statistics' option.

Currently I see columns for Disk Space, Disk Space Write, DB Space Delete etc.

Which one is a fairly accurate display of what I have saved in terms of space within the table?

Is it the (Write) columns or the (Delete) columns?

Its the delete columns that give you the most accurate indication of space saved. In case of archiving of IDocs the links are always archived with the IDocs but the delete program does not delete the link entries. Hence the Written space would be higher than the Deleted space.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

It's the DB space (Deleted) which tells you that this much amount of space have been freed up after you have archived the IDOCs or R/3 data.

DB space (written) will tell you the number of objects written for archiving but not yet removed from the SAP R/3 database. The delete program tells you the accurate information as it compares the written objects wtih the saved objects on the storage system and the sap database.

Thanks,
