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, can you tell me what type of archiving tool you are using? ADK, NLS, etc, heard NLS is not available until BW 7.1 and ADK is not good for reading retreived data.

I am writing pros & cons so the company decides what to use!

We use the ADK archiving.

But we only use archiving for data which we most probably don't need anymore, so no reads.

For that NLS is necessary. I'm quite sure NLS works in BI7.0 (as from a certain Support stack).
