those are not maintained in SARA but in the customizing of the application which you can reach using SARA -> Customizing -> Application-specific customizing. you will have to do this for every object that:

a.) has a residence time

b.) has to be archived (sometimes due to the fact that you want to archive something totally different, but this object is linked to the first, e´. g. RV_LIKP and SD_VBAK.

Thankyou Mylene...

But I am not finding 'Application specific customzing' under SARA.

It has only 'Cross archiving object' ,'Archiving object specific' and 'Basis customizing'.

I am doing for MM_ACCTIT archiving object. pls help..

Thanks,

Priya.

Hello again,

Archive object MM_ACCTIT does not have a residence time requirement. So, you manage the data within the write job variant (example - fields Fiscal Year/Period or Posting Date).

Hello Priya,

Some archive objects have a residence time, some do not. If they do have a residence time, it would be configured as mentioned in the previous post.

But, currently, the retention time is managed/configured within your 3rd party solution (IXOS, FileNet, Documentum, etc.).

SAP is currently working on a tool as part of their ILM Solution that will help manage retention.
