Regarding data Archiving

Hi,
       All
               my client needs to archive Data in SAP 8.8 each year having only 1 year completed.Can we archive data
               less than 3 year?
Thanks in Advance

There will not be any technical problem if the archiving is done as per the instructions set by SAP (I suggest you go through DATA Archiving Session from SAP), What I meant was that any data which is less than 3 year old may still be considered as new data and if this is archived you are left with no choice to modify anything in this data as this becomes read-only. If the client is looking for extra space on server by Data Archiving you can suggest other step as well . Again as I said it is the client's call afterall.

Put Together A Data Archiving Strategy And Execute It Before Embarking On Sap Upgrade

A significant amount is invested by organizations in a SAP upgrade project. However few really know that data archiving before embarking on SAP upgrade yields significant benefits not only from a cost standpoint but also due to reduction in complexity during an upgrade. This article not only describes why this is a best practice but also details what benefits accrue to organizations as a result of data archiving before SAP upgrade. Avaali is a specialist in the area of Enterprise Information Management. Our consultants come with significant global experience implementing projects for the worlds largest corporations.
Archiving before Upgrade
It is recommended to undertake archiving before upgrading your SAP system in order to reduce the volume of transaction data that is migrated to the new system. This results in shorter upgrade projects and therefore less upgrade effort and costs. More importantly production downtime and the risks associated with the upgrade will be significantly reduced. Storage cost is another important consideration: database size typically increases by 5% to 10% with each new SAP software release – and by as much as 30% if a Unicode conversion is required. Archiving reduces the overall database size, so typically no additional storage costs are incurred when upgrading.
It is also important to ensure that data in the SAP system is cleaned before your embark on an upgrade. Most organizations tend to accumulate messy and unwanted data such as old material codes, technical data and subsequent posting data. Cleaning your data beforehand smoothens the upgrade process, ensure you only have what you need in the new version and helps reduce project duration. Consider archiving or even purging if needed to achieve this. Make full use of the upgrade and enjoy a new, more powerful and leaner system with enhanced functionality that can take your business to the next level.
Archiving also yields Long-term Cost Savings
By implementing SAP Data Archiving before your upgrade project you will also put in place a long term Archiving Strategy and Policy that will help you generate on-going cost savings for your organization. In addition to moving data from the production SAP database to less costly storage devices, archived data is also compressed by a factor of five relative to the space it would take up in the production database. Compression dramatically reduces space consumption on the archive storage media and based on average customer experience, can reduce hardware requirements by as much as 80% or 90%. In addition, backup time, administration time and associated costs are cut in half. Storing data on less costly long-term storage media reduces total cost of ownership while providing users with full, transparent access to archived information.

Regarding data archiving for SD objects.

Hi All,
Can you please help me to learn data archiving of SD objects.
I am very new to SDN and this is my first thread.

Hi Hariprasad,
You can find a lot of information relating to archiving SD data in SAP Help.
Here is the link you need

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.

Data archival and purging for OLTP database

Hi All,
Need your suggestion regarding data archival and purging solution for OLTP db.
currently, we are planning to generate flat files from table..before purging the inactive data and move them to tapes/disks for archiving then purge the data from system. we have many retention requirements and conditions before archival of data. so partition alone is not sufficient.
Is there any better approach for archival and purging other than this flat file approach..
thank you.

Queries regarding Flash Builder and Augmented Reality.

I am Sarat from India. I'm a software engineer with working knowledge of Java, so Flash AS and OOP are understandable for me. I am working on an augmented reality project. I am quite new to Flash, Adobe Community and I've got some queries regarding Augmented Reality and Flash Builder:
1. Flash Builder 4.6 comes with a default Flex 4.6 SDK. However, Flex 4.6 SDK wasn't allowing me to compile and run some example files. So I've downloaded Flex 4.0A version from Adobe.com. Now the examples are running fine, but would there be any problem if i try deploying such projects in a website or as a desktop app? Once the code is compiled into a swf file, the flex framework used doesn't make much difference, does it?
2. Would the AR project run effectively on a website, given various internet/processor speeds worldwide? Would the effectiveness of the AR project, deployed on a website, depend on the number of triangles in the 3D models i.e. dae files? Because as per my understanding heavy models implies more time to download the flash app into the local browser from the internet and more time to render them by the papervision 3D engine right?
3. Can we develop a stand alone desktop AR app using Flash Builder? Using Adobe AIR we can, i guess. Please refer some tutorial, if possible.
4. I've seen that we can implement multiple-marker-tracking AR using vectors/arrays in AS. Would there be any performance issues depending on the size of the vectors/arrays used.
5. Can someone please mention some tips to improve performance of an AR app (desktop app and web app)?
6. What would be, approximately, the cost of FLARManager, FLARToolkit commercial versions, if you have any idea? I've gone through their website but they did not mention the costs.
7. Would applying bitmap material to the dae models pull down the web app/mobile app/desktop app performance, given some 4 to 5 dae models in the scene?
8. Is it advisable to use multiple markers with multiple dae models or single marker with Flash-based GUI option to load different models onto the same marker?
It would be very helpful for me if someone could answer my above queries.
Sarat.

#1, If it compiles then you have no issue. There's no reason at this point not to use 4.6. You should bundle a captive runtime to assure the users computer won't need to have AIR installed at all.
#2, Papervision is old. Use the Stage3D and/or a wrapper framework. As far as the generic "If I download lots of data will it take the user more time to load it", well, of course. Just don't make the loading experience painful. Entertain them while they way or find ways of displaying data sooner than later. If it's desirable on the web has more to do with the context of the app and the device displaying it. In other words, a phone user would find it easy but obviously not a desktop user.
#3, Definitely referring you to Google on that one.
#4, Size always matters, it's common sense. The more you process the harder it is. While I haven't done AR I've used the Microsoft Kinect SDK and ANE and tracking was extremely fast but limited. From what I've seen and your basic built in location and direction hardware on any mobile device you shouldn't have much trouble. Depends on what you're doing.
#5, This discussion would be way too large for a forum. You'd need to consult a firm experienced in AR development.
#6, "Applications using the commercial license do not have to provide source code, but must pay a licensing fee. Contact ARToolworks at [email protected] for more information." They will base your price on your product, there is no single price.
#7, The models could be huge and elaborate or tiny and simple which changes the answer. Consult the answer in #4. Ultimately most people are getting on fast networks with mobile and excessively fast on desktop/wifi. Size matters a lot less than 3 years ago.
#8, Depends on what you're doing. You have to explain it.

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.)

Few queries regarding content/web content migration

Hi All,
i have few queries regarding migration of web site and contents (from development to test )which are not clarified after reading oracle docs.
--> When we do site replication will the content be migrated (data files).
--> when we migrate content will all ED and RD etc.(all web site object type be migrated).
--> are both the step necessary for migration when we have to migrate web site.
thanks
-somesh

--> When we do site replication will the content be migrated (data files).It depends how you do it. The "Site Studio Replicator" tool will not move any content, only the site structure. The "Manage Site Replication" page can be used to migrate content with the site structure but I don't recommend it for large sites, I use separate Archiver tasks for moving content. The "Backup and Restore" page stores the entire site in a ZIP file, not advisable for large sites.
--> when we migrate content will all ED and RD etc.(all web site object type be migrated).Yes. It uses the xWebsites metadata field to identify items that belong to the site.
--> are both the step necessary for migration when we have to migrate web site.Depends how you do it, but yes, all bits are required.

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.

A few queries regarding the beauty that is Nokia 5...

I got this beautiful lil machine a lil over a week back. It looks lovely, and sounds even better. And even though, being a student/intern, it cost me more than my monthly salary, I am mighty pleased I got it. And despite the opposition before, it's a great hit, both at home and work.
Just a few queries regarding the usage from my experience so far, the answers to which I could not find in this forum and a few other review sites. [Apologies if I'd missed something.]
1- First, the battery. It only lasts for a little over a day on full charge. From what I'd heard and read, it looked like it should last quite a bit a more, atleast 2 full days. The phone even hung up a couple of times, while recording/playing video. Upon which I had to remove and reinsert the battery. How seriously wrong is this ?
2- How do you forcefully exit an application, if need be ? It suggests in the guide, and from the reviews I read, there's supposed to be an exit and a start button with the applications when you bring up the task manager. Where're they?
3- There's this option where you can insert a Slideshow as your Wallpaper. But when I go to it, select the desired images, [ Tried various random images, yes ]it only shows Options and Back button, when select Back, it just goes, well, back. Nothing really happens to the wallpaper. How does that work ?
4- This might seem like a petty issue, but it can be pretty annoying. Once you go to Options and tell it you are marking, e.g. in the Inbox or the File Manager, how do you mark multiple items, WITHOUT having to go to Options >Mark >Mark/Unmark for each item ? What's the point of having a seperate Marking option in the first place then, when I could just Move or Delete each item seperately anyway.
5- And last, any news on a free full version of a document viewer ? From what I looked up, it costs around US$70, which is about a quarter of the phone's purchase price itself. And that's not a modest sum, that too for a basic application such as this, for a anyone with my status.
Just so any prospective buyer or amateur user such as myself doesn't get scared off by the seemingly long list of inquiries, the phone's an absolute pleasure to use. Specially, for someone with their first Touchscreen/Symbian experience. I got this phone after a LOT of research, both online and in the field. And it's bloody well worth it so far.
I know, it's a huge post, but you'd have my utmost gratitude for an accurately detailed response. Thankyou. =)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Why of course. Something happening to your phone during the process would brick it, not to mention that the attempt would install something in your phone that voids the warranty, meaning that you just made yourself a very expensive paperweight. ^_^. We're not really allowed to talk about it, other than the fact that with the above possibility, I strongly advise you not to do so. There is a way to do it without hacking it. I know of people who have managed to do it without hacking, but it was on the 5800. Hmm, ok, maybe they'll work for you too though.

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)

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,
