Access SAP Data Archival file from outside SAP

Hello Everyone,
I have a requirement to archive the SAP data, dump that outside SAP in some other system like ILM or BI and build a reporting tool on top of that data.
So, basically customer want to shutdown the SAP and want to retain data for legal and audit pourpose.
I was doing some RnD and done archiving of MM_EKKO using SARA. the file got generated with extention .ARCHIVE. I donwnloaded teh file but it is encoded file with all special character in it.
My question is:
1. How can I read the archieved SAP data from outside SAP system.
2. Can we decode the .ARCHIVE file to get it in .DAT format?
3. Or Is there any other way to access the SAP data outside SAP in a report format.
Thanks,
Chintan SOni.

Hi Chintan,
1. How can I read the archieved SAP data from outside SAP system.
For this you could refer SAP Note   460620 - Migrating archive files
2. Can we decode the .ARCHIVE file to get it in .DAT format?
As per my knowledge,it's not possible to decode or move to .DAT format.
3. Or Is there any other way to access the SAP data outside SAP in a report format.
Refer my first response & the SAP note.
Hope this will help you.
Good luck !!

  • New to SAP Data Archiving

    Hi,
    Is it a must to have third party tool/ software for SAP Data Archiving
    OR
    SAP has its own solution for (CREATE archive files, WRITE archive files and DELETE from database).
    Any pointers for some more information on different stages of SAP Data Archiving project. (Any links to how-to documents would be great help.)

  • Call ABAP Program from outside SAP

    Hi all,
    How can I call an ABAP program from outside SAP, for example from a C++ executable, a .NET assembly or a JAVA package ? Are their "adapters" provided by SAP for this ?
    Angela

    Hi Angela,
    as mho already stated:
    For external connections to ABAP, the sap-proprietary "remote function call (RFC)" is a common way.
    SAP delivers an RFC-library for this, and for some development environments SAP even offers a connector on top of this library to make connectivity more easy (SAP Java Connector, SAP Business Connector, SAP Connector for Microsoft .Net). An RFC is always starting function modules in ABAP, not ABAP programs, and these function modules need the attribute "remote-enabled".
    (Remark: in the context of SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, SAP offers adapters for connectivity, also for ABAP systems.)
    For ABAP systems on basis code line 6.20 and above, the remote-enabled function modules can externally be used as web services.
    Information on RFC can be found in the SAP Help Portal http://www.help.sap.com, e.g. [RFC Call - Example Program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3d/733760ccb411d2b4550060941936e3/frameset.htm]. A search in SDN provides links to the Help Portal as well.

    This part is beyond the ABAP question, and my guess is pretty simple: like on any other J2EE server.

  • How to open files from the SAP DMS (DOC Mgt. System) ?

    Hello All,
            I making the Transaction CV04N in BSP.
    When I execute this CV04N I should give a DOC Nr and the list is generated for this DOC.Now in the List if I select one Record and then Press Display Icon then the content of this list is opened in a new window in it's respective format (PDF,Word,GIF,Image file  etc).These are stored in the SAP DMS.
            I want to open a file from this SAP DMS .
    This can be done in ABAP using the standard FMs. But in BSP we can't use these FMs as it will call a screen.
    The Fm which I'm using is " DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT ".
    In Report prog. To this FM I'll pass the
    a, DOC Type
    b, DOC Number
    c, Document part and
    d, Document version.
    then It'll directly open a PDF file in a new window.
    But in BSP how should I acheive this as the FM calls a screen internally.
    The content of the documents are stored in the DMS. Is there any TCODE or Table to get the files from the DMS ?
    How should I proceed ? can any one help me out.....
    Regards,
    Deepu.K

    Hello All,
             I found the FM : <b>CVAPI_DOC_OPEN_CAD</b> which wil return the file path.
    But when I execute this in my BSP since the FM internally calls a screen it fails.
    But can anyone tell me the alternative for this.
    Should I create a FM omitting the GUI code ?
    I found one more thread which says that I can use classes starting with cl_gos*.
    But all the classes use a gui.
    Dowload a document from R/3 DMS to BSP page
    Am I wrong in the interpretation of the logic from the above thread ?
    Please suggest me .
    I too went thru the BSP Applications <b>CVAW_ENTIRE, CVAW_DOCUMENT_DISPLAY.</b>
    But these are used to display only the <b>thumbnails.</b>
    There is no code for displaying other formats like PDF,XLS etc.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong and let me know the correct path to solve my problem.

  • SAP Data Archiving in R/3 4.6C and ECC 6.0.

    Hi Guys,
        Need some suggestions,
    We currently working on SAP R/3 4.6 and have plans to upgrade it to ECC 6.0,
    In the mean time there is an requirement for SAP Data Archiving for reducing the database size and increase system performance.So wanted to know if its better to do Data Archiving before upgrade or after. Technically which will be comfortable, Also wanted to know if any advanced method available in ECC 6.0 compared to SAP R/3 4.6.
    Please provide your valuable suggestion.
    Thanks and Regards
    Deepu

    Hi Deepu,
    With respect to archiving process there will be no major difference in 4.6 and ECC 6.0 system. However you may get more advantage in ECC6.0 system because of Archive routing and also upgraded Write, Delete programs (upgraded program will depend on your current program in 4.6 system). For example In 4.6 system for archive MM_EKKO write program RM06EW30, archiving of purchase document is based on company code in the selection criteria and there is no preprocessing functionality. In ECC 6.0 you can archive by purchase organization selection criteria and preprocessing functionality will additional help in archiving of PO.
    In case if you archive documents in 4.6 and later upgrade it to ECC 6.0, SAP system will assure you to retrieve the archived data.
    With this i can say that going with archiving after upgrade to ECC 6.0 system will be better with respect to archiving process.
    -Thanks,
    Ajay

    Jerin,
    It is possible to embed a Xcelsius model into an SAP WebTemplate (Anil promised to write a blog about this very soon). After that you can include the WebTemplate in the GUI menu, Role menu or Portal.

  • Calling search services from outside sap

    Dear Experts,
    are there any chances to call the SES or the SAP NetWeaver Enterprise Search from outside the SAP environment by passing a search query and credentials per HTTP GET Request? The response schould be provided to callee in XML form. I think i can implement a kind of adapter (BSP,WebDynpro????????), which takes the requests, call the SES or  NetWeaver Enterprise Search and builds XML based on the search results. Am i right?
    thank you in advance
    Nicolai

    Dear All,
    i found a solution for my problem. i will use a HTTP-Request Handler for handling HTTP requests in  SAP CRM system. I will pass a search query (some attributes of the Business Partner) to this Handler and use the function COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS to perfom the search.
    It is right, that i shall configure the settings in Customizing at SAP NetWeaver ® SAP Web Application Server ® System Administration® Search Engine Service (http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW70/helpdata/EN/27/08ef417fc65f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm) for indexing the Business Object bus1006 (Business PArtner) and determine the RFC destination in order to use COM_SES_SEARCH_OBJECTS???
    I am absolutely new to this thema und need your help!

  • Archive files from Webdynpro

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where the uploaded file has to get stored in Archive from Webdynpro. I am using the file uploader which is giving me the file name, MIME type and data but I am unable to store it in the Archive.
    I am using FM 'ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE' but getting the error that GUI is not supported(NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI). But the same FM is working from SAPGUI when run from SE37 and returning a document ID. When called from Webdynpro, it is going into error.
    I tried using similar function modules I found in the Function Group but it seems none of them support getting called from the Webdynpro.
    Is there a way to archive files from the desktop to the SAP Archive using Webdynpro ABAP?
    Thanks

  • I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

    Following up on this thread,
    I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
    I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
    Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
    I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
    Question:
    Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

  • How to delete Archived files from FTP

    HI,
    I am looking to delete Archived files from FTP Server, Can anybody have idea about this.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    To be frank, deletion of archived files is really a manual activity and is never in reality done by an interface
    so you have two options;
    1. log into the archived folder and manually delete archived files
    2. run a script in your file adapter - this way everytime the interface is triggered the files will be deleted - but then y do this.. instead just dont archive any files at all

  • Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

    Hi all,
    is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
    I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
    Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
    I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
    The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
    You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

  • Accessing Release Strategy defintion from outside SAP

    Hi !
    I'm trying to integrate SAP MM with other 3rd party application. We want to access and read SAP's release strategy definitions and also document classes, to avoid having to maintain that information from the 3rd party too.
    Is there any standard approach to access this info ? a BAPI maybe ? or do we have to access the data tables from a custom made RFC that reads specific tables ?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Matias

    Hi Rajoo,
    As per I know, in standard sap, you can achieve this requirement.
    Just make sure you have the characteristic for Total net value (CEKKO-GNETW) , and maintain the currency to USD. As long as you have USD to INR conversion in OB08, the system will able to fetch the correct release strategy for the PO based on the amount you set in the Release strategy.

  • Reload archived file on another sap system

    Dear Experts,
    We have multiple plants in sap system maintained with different clients.  For example Plant A , Plant B, Plant C. Is it possible to migrate plant data from one SAP System to new sap system. we have a Plan to provide separate systems as per plant. For example If i do archiving Plant B of customizing data and  belonging dependent data records( SO,PR,..) and  reload in to new sap system ?  If so how can i access on new system ?
    Any advice on techniques or procedure would be greatly appreciated.
    Reg,
    chandu.

    This is unfortunately a little bit to naive.
    Archiving is only possible for master and transaction data, but not for customizing
    Archiving is only possible for closed business cases.
    In most Archiving objects it is not foreseen to reload it into the database.
    Archiving is not a 1:1 copy of your data, SAP is collecting data from many tables and put this together into 1 archiving record, this record is even reduced to the necessary data, many flags will not go into the archive as they are only needed to control the execution during runtime. If the archive is missing this data, then it cannot be expected to reload the data from the archive.
    What you want is as complex  as a new rollout, and it usually requires exact the same steps (except training), you need to create master data (extending existing records) like in a migration.
    Within the same client it can be a little less effort than in different clients, but even this depends on the skills of those who execute the migration. Some have less issues creating new record than extending existing records.
    Depending on the volume and the scope of migration objects we usually have smaller projects which can be from a few days to several months.
