Archiving Process -Archive file size

[Former Member]

Hi,

During the archiving run using SARA, the created archive file size can be determined in the spool list. But how can we make sure enough db space is assigned for the archive files so that jobs do not get terminated. What is the tcode used or steps to assign sufficient space before archiving?

Valuable inputs are appreciated.

Thanks,

Priya.

Hello,

The archive file size is configured per archive object within the customizing settings within SARA -> Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing - Technical Settings. You can configure the maximum size or the maximum number of objects within the file. When it hits whichever limit you have set, a new archive file is written.

As for trying to ensure you have enough space. Check out how much space is available from the Archive Directory button that is available when you are creating the Archive Write job variant.

If you do not have very much space in your archiving filesystem, you can configure your files to automatically get stored to your content repository after the file has been successfully completed. You then just have to configure your delete job to read the file from the content repository. All of these config settings are contained in the same area as setting the file size mentioned above.

Hope this helps.

Hi Priya,

I agree with Karin information, in addition to that you should also know that we cant ensure that the data to be archived will occupy definate space in archive file, however we can configure the archive file size as 100MB. When archive file is create it will first write into a file and later when the file size reachs 99.9MB then data will be written in next new file.

Note: When you schedule read program online for the archive file having size 85 MB or more than that then there is a chances that the schedule read program can terminate so to solve this problem you have to scedule read job at background.
