Data Destruction of Infotypes

[former_member741507]

Hello,

I have just started looking into the ILM modules and currently trying to figure out how i can use the Data Destruction functionality to delete data directly from the database. There is no need for archiving it.

Is it possible to delete information from IT0009 (Banking Details) for inactive employee? If so, does anyone have information or tips on how i can achieve this? Will it be through the Destruction Object (TCODE DOBJ) and then do i run this through the Data Destruction program (TCODE ILM_DESTRUCTION)?

If someone can help answer the questions or point me to some useful tutorials it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

hi,

for this infotype, the table is PA0009 & the ilm object is HRPA_PYDTL. you can check t.codes DB15 & IRM_CUST. yes ILM_DESTRUCTION is used for data destruction, but you also need to configure the ILM policy before . it requires ILM & archiving knowledge

Hi Satya,

Thank you for your reply. I was able to achieve the data destruction of IT0009 with the Archiving Object HRPA_PYDTL. In order to do so i have to run the pre-process, then write and then the delete step runs automatically. Based on my understanding, even if i create an object for Destruction i would have to create a ABAP program that would need to execute with it. At the time of this post, i was wondering if there was a standard program already that would do the deletion of IT0009 from ILM_DESTRUCTION.

I tried to make a copy of HRPA_PYDTL to a Z Object, however when i run it, it still creates the log in HRPA_PYDTL. Would you know why that is? do i need to also copy the programs and make adjustments in there?

Thanks for you input!
