Archiving inactive installations

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Wanted to know if it is possible to archive inactive installations (EANL & EANLH).I have checked Archiving settings, there is Archiving object ISU_EANL exist in AOBJ. But there is no further customizing settings in SPRO (line info structure,Retention period).

When I am executing SARA,write report,for object ISU_EANL. System gives error message and gets exit.

Please advice on best practice followed for removing inactive installation from system.

Thanks In advance.

Hi Roopali,

Before executing SARA for archiving installations, there are a series of steps which needs to be configured in SAP, say where the archived data would get stored (T.code-ARCHGUIDE), assignment of the logical and physical paths (T.code-FILE), Design & configuration of content repository (T.code-OAC0)etc.

Once you are done with all these steps, only then you can go and execute SARA to archive Installations in SAP.

I would recommend you to get in touch with your BASIS person with your archiving requirements and they can do the initial configuration.
