Data archiving process & compression

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm trying to archive data from an infocube via a data archiving process.

I was able to create a data archiving process and execute it, but it always stops after a few seconds.

In the job log the system is telling me that the data that I want to archive has to be compressed.

So is it a prerequisite to compress the data to be archived before archiving can take place?

Hi together,

sorry, that was my fault. I don't know why I wrote this statement.

If you do not compress, it might occur that a request can only be archived partially, which can not be handled by the system. Hence, data is only archived from the E table (if time sliced selection is used), which is the compressed one.
