Archive Incidents

[Former Member]

Hi there,

Is it possible to archive incidents in EHS? If so can someone please let me know how this can be achieved? I know we do archive EHS documents, my requirement is more specific to archive incidents data.

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

Thanks for sharing the program it was a good one. This is a very useful program from a data import prespective may be not very useful for the auditors. The other disadvantage I noticed with this program is that it doesn't tell you which incidents have been deleted and also no confirmation either but does the job well :-).

Thanks anyway.

Hi Kal,

If you are new to deleting incidents you may want to consider the availability of the program RC1PHDEL.

The deletion of the incident from CBIH82 will set a deletion indicator on the Incident header table CCITH_IAL. All of the data relevant to the incident will continue to be held in the incident tables but it is not accessible from the front-end transactions or considered in reports. Philosophically, you may consider this u201Carchivedu201D based on you archiving requirements, because it will provide some improvement in search times and the range of data displayed to users, however, it does not provide any relief in terms of database or table storage capacity.

If you were to run the program RC1PHDEL after deleting the incident, work area or some other EH&S objects, the table data is erased completely. I find this program most useful in data load situations where I have an external number range in place. If there is an error in the data load, I can set the deletion flag for the loaded data objects, run the program RC1PHDEL and then reload the data and not receive any number range conflict errors. This is especially helpful when loading the work area hierarchy were mass changes to the number range of the work areas can be difficult because of the u201Chigher level work area assignmentu201D as well as integration to OM relationship assignments. It is also useful in the development environment when making configuration changes that may cause errors because of the current setting to exiting transactional data like incidents.

Can I also add that my requirement was to delete incidents and not archive. Archive is not possible.

Hi Mark/Christoph,

Thank you for your input, I am afraid it is possible to delete an incident and here's how.

Following example is to delete a single incident but you can also delete multiple incidents

Go to CBIH82

-> Enter Incident Number (*3333)

-> Click on search (F8)

-> Select Incident by clicking on the check box

-> Goto Edit

-> Select Delete (Shift + F2)

-> Confirm

-> Save

Hope this will be useful for someone else looking for a solution.

Hello Kal,

To my knwoledge this is not possible within the classic EH&S Incident Management.

Kind regards

Hello Kal

I agree to Mark. EH&S is not well suported in "archiving". PLease take a look in tranaaction "SARA" You will not find any "archive object" regarding EH&S (bu e.g regarding materials). In EH&S you can only archive documents according to my findings so far.

With best regards

C.B.
