Data Archiving

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I'm trying to archive a table to external content server.

We managed to get the data archived to a file in SAP server itself.

But connecting to a content server is the problem.

We created a archiving object type and a object. If some one knows how to connect to a external server pls help.

Thanks

Hi Yashitha,

I do not know exactly, But from my experience. When we create an Archiving Object using the Transaction: AOBJ - We specify the path that has been created using the transaction: FILE.

I think we specify the file path required using the Transaction: FILE.

Please let me know how you have solved the problem.

Hi Goutham,

Thanks for your reply. Actually we want to pass the archive data to a external content server. If we give a file path it will be a local file path. So what i want to find out is how to give connection parameters in the object.

Hi Yasitha,

Have you created a content repository using TA: OAC0?

To be able to store archive data in to external content server you need to specify the content repository for the archive object in

TA: SARA -> enter archive object -> Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing -> Technical settings

After running the Write(Archive) Job, you need to run the Store Job to move the archive file to external contant server

Refer the following link for more details on Data Archiving customizing

Hi Samanjay,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I managed to correct several places using the information u sent.

Now the archive file is getting created. But when the Store job executes it gives a error.

Here i'm sending the job log. I can see the file in the folder. But job log says it does not

exists.

In CSADMIN status tab i noticed the "create" value getting increased every time i run

the store job. Does this means that the data is getting created in the server ?

If so do you know how to check the content server.

Pls help.

Hi Yasitha,

Immediately after the archive file is stored, SAP checks if it can access the stored archive file. If the access check fails then you get this sort of error.

I think that there is some sort of communication issue between SAP and Content server since you get the error message

"Error occured when checking the stored archive file 000052-001ZCPLUSARCH"

Also it is possible that the problem could be because of SAP program bug. So I suggest you check you are configuration and also SAP Notes.

BTW are you using SAP Content Server or some third party conent server like IXOS, Filenet etc?

Hi Samanju,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

We use the SAP content server. Not any third party servers.

Checked the configurations but cant find any thing related to this.

One doubt i have is the error message of the Store job says

Error occured when checking the stored archive file 000052-001ZCPLUSARCH"

file 000052-001ZCPLUSARCH does not exist

But 000052-001ZCPLUSARCH is the archive key, Not the file name.

Does this mean any thing to you.

Thanks & Regards,

When you archive using SAP Content Server, the program write the Archive first in a local temporary directory, and then transfer the file to Content Server.

Assuming that the connection Between R3 and Content Server is OK, I recommend you to install MaxDB to acces directly to the Content Server database and select into archived files table to check if Conetnt Server really have received anything.

Hi Sergi.

The connection between R3 and Content Server is OK. If you come to the link, i can archive standard object FI_TCJ_DOC but i can´t archive my object ZIECI_RF02.

In the Management option of SARA transaction. I can view the next info:

Archive File 000340-001ZIECI_RF02

Date 09.04.2008

Time 17:50:00

Number of Objects 1

Size in MB 0,003

Status Deletion Completed

Storage System Not Stored

Index Index created

Notes

File Name XF_ZIECI_RF02_20080409_175000_0.ARCHIVE

Logical Path ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH

Physical File Name /usr/sap/CX6/SYS/global/XF_ZIECI_RF02_20080409_175000_0.ARCH

Archive File Is Accessible

I don´t meet this program, but i donwload and prove it.
