Data archiving procedure

Dear all,
10.2.0.4 on solaris 10
Our Production database is 4.5TB in size and we have Tier level storage implemented in our environment.In order to reduce costs , and to avoid procuring
new tier 1 disks ,we are planning to move some old data (huge) to one more server (database) which is attached to tier 3 storage.Some tables are partitioned and many non-partitioned too.
Now am moving (archiving) the data between the servers using datapump or using normal insert statements accessing across db link. We are planning to get the incremental data load in every 6 months .
Is there any other way of doing this ?. Any other way of getting the incremental data with out using inserts ?.Just a small hint or pointers will of great help
Thanks
Kai

Thanks ,
How will you define date range against the data ? Is it across the entire db or only few tables ? Any partitioned tables ?One table is partitioned. Data segregation in other tables done through date columns.

Hi,
Go through these steps.
1. Go to tcode SARA.
2. Type Archiving obj name --> MM_ASMD
3. Click on Customizing
   Check cross arc. obj->data archieve monitor
                                 ->For files in file system
4. Max size 25mb (ask u r client)
5. Test mode variant. (Do not choose production mode unless you are quite sure as data cannot be
     retrieved at all. Ask u r client before u choose this.)
6. Start automatically
    (starts submit program, write program, store program and delete program)
7. Content repository is 'LT'. (Again ask your client). Check start automatically.
8. Choose Store before deleting.

CS-MARS Archiving procedure

Got a customer with a CS-MARS-100E-K9 appliance, and we're looking at the archiving procedure on the device in order to back it up in case of future disaster recovery.
The limited documentation I can find seems to contradict itself, where in one place it says that the default archive/restore will also archive the OS as well as all config and dynamic data (implying that it is basically a disk image of the appliance), yet in another says that I'll need to re-image to the version of software that the data comes from before I can restore anything. Can anyone clear up the following:
1 - Does the archive procedure essentially run like a disk-image backup, where re-running the pnrestore will bring a blank appliance back up to (for example) version 4.2.2 with all the config and dynamic data present?
or
2 - Will I need to reinstall up to version 4.2.2 and then run the pnrestore?
Thanks in advance.

The documentation pertaining to the pnrestore functionality is indeed horrible, but I've never really questioned that aspect of it.
At least certain parts of the archived data (the raw events and sessions) appear to be some sort of sql export. They are compressed text files. I would guess that the other database related information is not a disk image either, there are many files. The OS info might be, but I'm not sure it matters.
I have used pnrestore a couple times and it appears that all the work is done and then the system is rebooted. To me this would imply that the version of pnrestore being used is critical to the process. Trying to use the pnrestore that came with 3.x to restore 4.x data doesn't seem likely to succeed. If you're going to try it, I would be sure to get Cisco's input because even if it works in the current version, it may not 3 versions from now when you need it.

HR PA Data Archiving

Hi,
We are undergoing the archiving project for HR module. For PD data, we can use object BC_HROBJ, for PCL4 data, we can use PA_LDOC. What about 2000 series infotypes data, such as PA2001, PA2002, PA2003, etc.? Because all changes to these infotypes are stored in PCL4 cluster LA, we only need to purge the data from these tables. What is the best way to purge PA2xxx data? We cannot use transaction PA30/PA61 to delete records because user exit edits prevent any action against old data beyond certain time frame.
Thanks very much,
Li

Business Partner Data Archiving - Help Required

Hi,
Am New to Data Archiving and need help to Archive Business Partner in CRM. I tried to Archive some BP's but it was not archiving. Kindly throw some light on it.
Problem we face are:
1) When we try to write a Business Partner to an Archive File the Job Log Shows finished but no files are created in the System.
2) When we try to delete the BP from Data Base it doesn't show the Archived BP's that could be deleted (I guess this is because there are no archived file).
Archive Object Used is CA_BUPA. We have created a Variant and set the Time as Immediate and Spool to LOCL.
Kindly let us know if there is any step we are missing here and if we are on the wrong track.
All answers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashanth

Hi,
To archive a BP following steps are to be followed.
A. Mark the BP to be archived in transaction BP >status tab
B. Run dacheck
FYI : Steps on how to perform dacheck :
1. In transaction DACONTROL change the following parameter to the
values : for CA_BUPA .
No. calls/packages   1
Number of Objects   50
Package SizeRFC     20
Number of Days       1 (if you use mobile client it should be more)
2.If a business partner should be archived directly after the
archiving note was set, this can be done by reseting the check
   date with report CRM_BUPA_ARCHIVING_FLAGS.
   here only check (set) the options :
   - Archiving Flag
   - Reset Check Date
Reset all options should be unchecked.
3. go to dacheck and run the process
4. This will change the status of the BPs to 'Archivable'
   *Only those bp's which are not involved in any business transactions,
    install base, Product Partner Range (PPR) will be set to archivable
The BP's with status 'Archivable' will be used by the archiving
     run.
Kindly refer note 646425 before goint to step C ***
C.Then run transaction CRM_BUPA_ARC.
- Make sure that the "selection program" in transaction "DACONTROL"
   is maintained as " CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTIONS"
Also create a variant, which can done by excecuting
CRM_BUPA_DA_SELECTION and enter the variants name for the field
Variant. This variant is the buisness partner range.
- Also please check note 554460.

Data archiving for Write Optimized DSO

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to archive data in Write Optimized DSO.
Its allowing me to archive on request basis but it archives entire requests in the DSO(Means all data).
But i want to select to archive from this request to this request.(Selection of request by my own).
Please guide me.
I got the below details from SDN.Kindly check.
Archiving for Write optimized DSOs follow request based archiving as opposed to time slice archiving in standard DSO. This means that partial request activation is not possible; only complete requests have to be archived.
Characteristic for Time Slice can be a time characteristic present in the WDSO, or the request creation data/request loading date. You are not allowed to add additional infoobjects for semantic groups, default is 0REQUEST & 0DATAPAKID.
The actual process of archiving remains the same i.e
Create a Data Archiving Process
Create and schedule archiving requests
Restore archiving requests (optional)

What are the CRM Trasaction data Data Sources and Data load Procedure

Hi BI Gurus,
Does anybody provide the CRM Transaction data DataSources names and Load procedure into BI7.0
I know the master Data load procedure from CRM to BI7.0.
if you provide Step-by-Step documents it is more help.
Thanks in Advance,
Venkat

Hi Venkat
In order to find the transactions want you can login the CRM system and then use the transaction RSA6. There you can expand all the subtrees by left clicking on the first line and then clicking expand the further left button. After that you can easily search any datasource you may want
Hope that helps

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

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,

Data Archiving - System Prerequisites

Hi,
We are planning to ARCHIVE some of the tables to reduce the TCO. (Total cost of Ownership)
In this regard, I would like to know the following:
On the Basis side, I want to check for any prerequisites etc (like Minimum SP LEVEL, Kernel version, Import Notes to be applied etc)
Are there any document which clearly talks about these prequisites for preparing the System in order to be able to carry out the Archive work without any issues.
(Note: We are not using ILM solution for Archiving)
I am mostly concerned with the SAP Notes that are considered to be the prerequisites.

in addition we have some Z Tables to be archived.

Hi,
Pre-requisites for search OSS notes or BC Sets depends upon the program that is used in archive, delete or read.
If there is no proper selection criteria in write variant selection,
If the program is getting terminated due to long processing time,
If percentage of data archived for your selection is less even after data meeting minimum criteria,
If system allows user to change archived data,
With all the above scenarios we will search for OSS notes. If SAP has released BC sets then we will implement these.
If you have any problem while archiving and based on the archiving experience if you think that some of the oss notes will help then take a call on implementing it.
With the tables you have mentioned i can say that archiving objects such as FI_DOCUMNT, FI_SL_DATA, EC_PCA_ITM, EC_PCA_DATA, CHANGEDOCU, ARCHIVELINK.
You have to search any latest release BC sets or OSS notes for your system application.

Can I add multple tables to a single Flashback Data archive

Hi ,
I want to add mutilple tables of a schema to a single Flashback Data archive . Is this possible ?
I dont want to create multiple Flash back archives for each table
Also can i add an entire schema or a tablespace to a flash back archive created ?
Thanks,
Sachin K

Do adding multiple tables to a single flashback archive feasible in terms of space ?Yes, you can use. Multiple tables can share the same policies for data retention and purging. Moreover, since an FBDA consists of one or more tablespaces (or subparts thereof), multiple FBDAs can be constructed, each with a different but specific retention period. This means it’s possible to construct FBDAs that support different retention needs. Here are a few common examples:
90 days for common short-term historical inquiries
One full year for common longer-term historical inquiries
Seven years for U.S. Federal tax purposes
20 years for legal purposes
How is the space for archiving data to a flashback archive generally estimated ?[url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/server.112/e16508/process.htm#BABGGHEI]Flashback Data Archiver Process (FBDA)
FBDA automatically manages the flashback data archive for space, organization, and retention. Additionally, the process keeps track of how far the archiving of tracked transactions has occurred.
It (FBDA) wakes up every 5 minutes by default (*1), checks Tablespace quotas every hour, creates history tables only when it has to and rests otherwise if not called to work. The process adjusts the wakeup interval dynamically based on the workload.
(*1) *1 Contradicting observations to MOS Note 1302393.1 were made. The note says that FBDA wakes up every 6 seconds as of Oracle 11.2.0.2, but a trace on 11.2.0.3 showed:
WAIT #140555800502008: nam='fbar timer' ela= 300004936 sleep time=300 failed=0 p3=0 obj#=-1 tim=1334308846055308
5.1 Space management
To ease the space management for FDA we recommend following these rules:
- Create an archive for different retention periods
o to optimally use space and take advantage of automatic purging when retention expires
- Group tables with same retention policy (share FDAs)
o to reduce maintenance effort of multiple FDAs with same characteristics
- Dedicate Tablespaces to one archive and do not set quotas
o to reduce maintenance/monitoring effort, quotas are only checked every hour by FBDA

A question on different options for data archival and compression

Hi Experts,
I have production database of about 5 terabyte size in production and about 50 GB in development/QA. I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux. We have RMAN backups configured. I have a question about data archival stretegy. To keep the OLTP database size optimum, what options can be suggested for data archival?
1) Should each table have a archival stretegy?
2) What is the best way to archive data - should it be sent to a seperate archival database?
In our environment, only for about 15 tables we have the archival stretegy defined. For these tables, we copy their data every night to a seperate schema meant to store this archived data and then transfer it eventualy to a diffent archival database. For all other tables, there is no data archival stretegy.
What are the different options and best practices about it that can be reviewed to put a practical data archival strategy in place? I will be most thankful for your inputs.
Also what are the different data compression stregegies? For example we have about 25 tables that are read-only. Should they be compressed using the default oracle 9i basic compression? (alter table compress).
Thanks,
OrauserN

You are using 11g and you can compress read only as well as read-write tables in 11g. Both read only and read write tables are the candidate for compression always. This will save space and could increase the performance but always test it before. This was not an option in 10g. Read the following docs.

Edited by: Ahsan's on Jul 19, 2010 11:44 AM

Archiving data is bound to legal things depending on the country and the company you work. Setting up archiving is not following a few steps, you'd need to have a system where to put the archiving data.
