Archiving of BW Master data

Hi All,
I am looking for information on Archiving of Master data in BW (not Product master).
As I understand that SAP does offer standard functionality for archiving in BW but is restricted to Product Master only.
Please let me know if there are any methodology/documents available for archiving of BW Master data, have already checked the content available on SDN.
Appreciate if somebody who has worked on such a project could share their experience/learnings also.
Thanks
Anurag

Werner,
I am aware of what you have mentioned and we do want to archive the BW transactional data also corresponding to the master data hence the need to look at options available. When the transactional data may not be required for analysis, this could definitely improve performance, hence we are looking for options
Ramesh,
The need arises from the fact that for a master data (Order no.) we have more than a couple of million records wherein most of them are not being used any longer for reporting/analysis

Archiving of Vendor Master Data,

Hi All,
I want to Archive Vendor Master data .
For this purpose , I used two Archiving Objects - FI_DOCUMNT and FI_ACCPAYB so that I can archive data from tables LFA1 and LFB1.
After archiving using FI_DOCUMNT , I tried archiving(write) using FI_ACCPAYB.The job did not pick up even a single record with an eror - transaction figures exist.
Hence to remove transaction figure I used Archiving Object FI_MONTHLY. After Archiving using FI_MONTHLY,
when I again tried archiving FI_ACCPAYB,I faced another error - "cleared items still exist".
I found out 3 tables related to cleared Items.
BSE_CLR
BSAK
BSAS
I got cleared Items cleared form BSE_CLR through FI_DOCUMNT,but those cleared items still exist in rest two tables.For all these three tables archiving object is same i.e. FI_DOCUMNT. I don't know why it did not delete data from rest two tables.
Please clear my following doubts-
1. what is the proper data dependency and archiving Object to archive Vendor master data.
2. In DB15 -When we search tables for a particular archiving Object, does it mean that that particular Archiving object will archive data from all tables listed for that OBJECT.

Hi Deepti,
Archiving object FI_ACCPAYB is dependent on various other archiving objects such as FI_DOCUMNT, MM_EKKO and so on which means that before archiving FI_ACCPAYB, first we have to archive dependent AO if we want to keep track on all the transaction data for this Vendor.
You can directly archive VMR with FI_ACCPAYB with out considering dependent archiving object also, Prerequisites for this are:
1. There should be no open items for this vendor
2. It should be marked for archiving at company code level and Purchase organization level.
3. Deletion indicator should be marked through Preprocessing program
If a VMR have all the above criteria then you can archive the vendor.
2 Question:
When we archive then write program picks up the data from the table that is mentioned in the DB15 transaction under the particular archiving objects.
Reward if it is benifits.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Standard method to archive/delete all vendor master data

Hi every abap expert
Does anyone know how to archive all vendor master data
in a client?
If use T-code : SARA . The vendor master data is required to mark deletion flag before archiving.
Any standard T-code can set all vendor master data with marked deletion flag ?

Hi Boris!
Give XK99 a try. With XK06 a single change is possible and in FI also FK06 is available.
When XK99 has problems with field LFA1-LOEVM, then you can make easily a CATT for XK06.

BW Master Data archiving - possible?

Dear Experts!
I have a question, regarding SAP BW archiving. Is master data archiving possible in SAP BW 7.02? If it's possible, what is the solution for that?
Tkanks in advance!

Hi,
I am thinking about creating a "twin" object of the one that you want to archive (identical).
Once create, refresh the new object with the information that you want to keep, and dont refresh any more.
But if you are interested in doing several archives and keep the data within that object, you can create a new field within the new Twin Characteristic as "key field" to store the date of when you do the archiving.
I hope that it helps!

GTS SPL Master Data Refresh

Hi all,
We are planning to refresh SPL Master Data in GTS System, We have excessive record in GTS System.
SPL records in production system is not in sync with records we are getting from 3rd party.In production system we have more than 190K records whereas actual entries should be 55K according to 3rd party system.So first Question is how to find out excessive record?
Second How to Archive those records in GTS System.?
Can anybody please help me on above issue & also best approach to refresh?
Thanks
Rajrishi Gupta

Hi Rajrishi,
You can archive the SPL master data. That shouldn't be a problem. But I was trying to understand how there were extra entries created. Did you get chance to check with your provider, if there were 190K entries provided by them in the past and now they have reduced it to 55K?
For archiving SPL master go to GTS Area menu-> System Administration->Archiving->(SPL section) Archive Master Data. Archiving Object will be SPL_MD. This will let you delete the existing SPL data.
Once done, you can upload the latest XML file. After uploading you will have to rescreen all your partners which might take some time and there might be some blocks. Please try this in your sandbox and check the results before proceeding ahead.
Audit trails stores data of your Document,BP SPL screening,blocking, releasing reason etc. For an example, say you had a document blocked with one of your old SPL master and the same was saved in Audit trails. Now if you delete the actual SPL master, I doubt if Audit trail will give you the exact result.

Vendor Master Data Archiving

Hi,
I wanted to archive vendor master data. I got program - SAPF058V which gives FI,Vendor Master Data Archiving: Proposal list.
This program checks whether and which Vendor Master data can be archived or not. I am getting error message after running this program with selection of one of the Vendor saying that "Links stored incompletely". Can someone pls help on this
Thanks...Narendra

Hi,
Check if you have an entry in table FRUN for PRGID 'SAPF047'. Other option is set the parameter 'FI link validation off'' with the flag on (ie: value 'x'). Check the help for this flag, surely this vendor have a code of customer. Perhaps you must try to delete this link in customer and vendor master before.
I hope this helps you,

MATERIAL MASTER DATA ARCHIVING

Dear Experts,
I have archive material master data from the data base.
As a prerequisite for material master data archive,
Purchase orders for the materials are archived already.
Invoices documents are archived already
Material documents are archived already
No material stocks exists for these materials.
Please tell me deletion flag is to be set for the material at client level ?
Table MARA
Field LVORM

you can delete and archive a material master at any level.
If you want archive the full material master, then you have to set the deletion indicator in MM06 on top level. if you just want archvie a storage location view, then you set your deletion indicator at this level only, as well in MM06.
In general MM06 is not necessary, as the SARA MM_MATNR write program allows to archive materials without having a deletion flag.

ARCHIVING MASTER DATA or DELETE

Hellow Masters,
I need to do "archive" or "delete" of some Master data already marked for deletion, how i do it... A friend say something about tcode "Sara", this the right path, somebody know ?
Thank's once more,

Hello there,
It depends on whether you simply want these objects to be locked and not used or whether you want to achieve an actual archiving of this data. If you are ok with the first option, go to processing the rental object (RECN, REBDRO, REBDBE, REBDPR, etc.) and then from menu Edit - Change Status - Archive - Set Deletion Flag. Thus, these objects will have DLFL status set.
If you want to archive the objects, refer to the steps described in the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/fb/1cb1897a90e54a8a2e075781aff4c5/content.htm
Hope this helps!

Archive BW master data

Is it possible to archive master data in BW? I don't see any option to archive..
Alok

Hi,
You can delete masterdata (rightklick infoobject -> delete masterdata), but only if there a no referencing records present in any infoprovider. Otherwise the information chain: Fact record -> DIM -> SID gets broken; since when you delete masterdata the corresponding SID table entry gets deleted. The system does not allow this. The deletion run can be time consuming since the system checks this condition for the masterdata to be deleted. I don't think there is an archiving solution for masterdata yet in BW.
Kind regards, Patrick Rieken.

Have you got an idea for archive the data from the the master data of the infoobject?

Hi All,
I've deleted a Customer (master data) by t.code OBR2. But it exists again in its SALES AREA.
Could anyone tell me how to delete it in the sales area too?
Thanks

Hi,
I dont think you can delete a customer. you can market it for deletion in XD06.
for deleting customer master data you have to setup an archiving project.
Also check the similar thread
doubt in obr2

PA30, attaching documents through the employee personal master data

Hi,
We want to add documents to a pernr in PA30 via Extra -> assign original. We configured the archive link but it asks for "Bar Code Entry" when we want to add an document. In http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/d7/e2270b408e11d1896b0000e8322d00/content.htm they say However, it is also technically possible to store without a bar code (that is, you can use the "assign then store" scenario). But I don't find the information to do it. Please can somebody assist?

PA30, attaching documents through the employee personal master dat

Dear freinds,
We are attaching documents through the employee personal master data
PA30, Our client wants to know where exactly these attachments are
getting saved; Our SAP environment is ECC6.0 on AIX 5.3. so i exactly would like to know what is the exact path where these documents are getting saved on AIX machine.
I would appreciate if you can tell us where exactly these documents are
getting saved at OS level, any particular file system you think,
because I probed in but couldnu2019t find where exactly there are on the
OS..
Regards
ayush

hello,
SAP generally recommends that you store employee documents with a bar code. You can find the documentation to 'Storage Within Personnel Administration' using the following path:
=> Help => SAP Library => Human Resources => Personnel Management (PA)=> Personnel Administration (PA-PA) => Storage Within Personnel Administration (PA-PA)
In the SAP Standard it is not possible to tie original documents to specific personnel numbers in the PA30 transaction. The only exceptions are two specific scenarios where you can tie original documents in the PA30 transaction:
1. late storing with bar code
2. late storing without bar code
During both scenarios you start out in the Trx PA30. If the bar code entry is deactivated the actual key data will have to be transferred to the document in any case, otherwise you will be asked to enter a barcode again. Therefore the document would be transferred to the scanning location and then assigned to a specific business object.
Unfortunately it is NOT possible to upload a document directly into archive in the PA30 any other way.
Let me emphasize once more that PA30 can not be used for storing infotype specific documents. Via the special scenarios mentioned already by my colleague you are able to assign documents to the specific infotypes but the storing has to be completed outside of PA30.
Using the option Extras -> Assign facsimile in PA30 will be interpreted by the system as start for late scanning with barcode thus the error message.
Hope this help
Sarah
