Archival Strategy for IMAP?

I've been reading through the forums and I suppose my issue is different enough to warrant a new thread.
I have recently switched to IMAP. I have several accounts that I track, and dozens of subfolders into which I route and filter emails as they come in.
With POP, everything was stored locally, and I didn't have to worry about disk usage. This is no longer the case. So I would like to implement an auto-archival process that copies messages older than 90 days to a mailbox on my local machine.
Here's the catch: I want to preserve my folder structure.
Let's say I have this folder:
Inbox
|_account1
|_subfolder1
|_subfolder2
|_subfolder3
Basically I want to set up an automator action or a set of rules within Mail.app that periodically looks through the folders and moves any emails older than 90 days to it's corresponding folder on my local drive. In other words, mail in subfolder1 would go to a similarly named subfolder1 on my mac.
This is a different technique than simply synchronizing my IMAP directories in that the contents of the archived folders will be different than those of the ones on the server.
So far, I have been unable to find or create an automator action that looks for files older than a non-specified date (a pet peeve that I hope is addressed in Leopard). And even if I could, I have not found a way to have either automator or Mail.app itself apply rules to a specific folder (account, yes, but not a folder).
If anyone has developed an archival strategy that works in these conditions, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Steve

Hi Terry,
what we se usually is that customer run one company-wide SLT box. The monitoring and all operation aspects are easier to handle. For example, you can patch the SLT system independently from the source systems. The general recommendation for the SLT box is to have it close to your HANA -> why? The RFC compression is much better than the DB compression. From a performance perspective I do not see an advantage when you have SLT on the source system. In real life these are only figures, the overall network performance should not be a problem. We have customers with one central SLT box next to Hana and more than 80 ECC systems globally distributed.
Best, Tobias

FI Archive questions for object FI_DOCUMNT

I am on a team that is currently implementing an Archiving strategy for financial data through the FI_DOCUMNT archiving object and we have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to perform the revaluation process on an account (for example the Cash account) for a fiscal period that has already been archived? Transaction F.05
2 Is it possible to redo a transfer to profit centers operation for prior years even if that data has already been archived?
Transactions 1KEH, 1KEI, 1KEJ, 1KEK
3. Since we are using FI ECC (Enterprise Controlling Consolidations), can we retain the consolidation account number for documents that have been archived via an AIS Infostructure?
Also, if we would need to transfer an FI document to a new special ledger for past periods, if it has been archived is that possible? Transaction GCU1
Any help on these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

The software is named as MediaSource Audio Converter. It comes w/ the MediaSource package which can be found at support/downloads too.
BTW, XtremeAudio is not based on same hardware that those othed X-Fi (PCI) models are so, if you have Li've! 24-bit/Audigy SE/Value or any Audigy 2/4 card there already then you perhaps don't get any other advantage but those couple of bundled additional software only (as like the Chrystalizer).
You can rip CDs and record audio directly to mp3 format by simply using MediaSource Player ... I don't know if there are support for edit VOB or DAT format files (least creative wavestudio 5.0 didn't support) but, supposeingly, there are 3rd party software for this task available.

Simplest Backup Strategy for Full IMAP server

Hi,
I have just reorganized all of my mail for the last few years on to my university Exchange server (IMAP) and of course it is full. I want to preserve my old messages and reduce my emails to the most recent ones on the Exchange server. What is the simplest approach to saving the old emails? Do I copy them to my "on the mac" and then copy them to CD, or is there a simpler solution?
Grant

Hi Grant.
Mail stores most preferences and all the account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored in ~/Library/Mail/.
Similarly, Address Book (whose data you should back up as well) stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/.
These files can be backed up just like any other data files. The affected applications shouldn’t be running while making the backup.
Actually, while you’re at it, you might as well back up your entire home folder...
For IMAP accounts, if Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments, Mail keeps a local copy of those messages on your hard disk that becomes part of any backup that includes the ~/Library/Mail folder.
Selected messages can be exported in standard mbox format by doing File > Save As in Mail and choosing Raw Message Source from the Format popup menu. Standard mbox files can be imported into most mail clients. In particular, they can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Other as the data format. Using this format, however, would cause some status flags to be lost (e.g. whether a message has been replied to).
Locally stored mailboxes can be copied to the Desktop or anywhere else by just dragging them there from Mail itself (for server-stored IMAP mailboxes, copy the messages to locally stored “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail first). These, however, are *.mbox folders (not standard mbox files), where messages are stored in individual *.emlx files that other mail clients don’t know or care about. They can be imported back into Mail doing File > Import Mailboxes and choosing Mail for Mac OS X as the data format.
Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts has an Archive Messages script that you may also find useful.
Finally, there are several backup/archiving solutions for Mail available out there:
http://www.hawkwings.net/plugins.htm#archive
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

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.

What is the backup strategy for your rpool?

Hi all,
May I know what is your backup strategy for rpool? like how to integrate with the netbackup or any other backup software
Is it using zfs send a data stream to a file and backup that file using backup software??
Aside the above method, can we also use the UFS method?
     backup software to backup entire / /var.......... etc....
     1. re install the OS
     2. install the backup client
     3. create a zpool (rpool-restore) using a 2nd disk,
     4. mount the new zpool (rpool-restore) to /restore
     5. restore all the file in /restore
     6. install boot blk,
     7. boot from 2nd disk
Any more idea?

HI Willy,
According to the Flash Archives limitation stated in Oracle website, if the OS is with a child zone, it will not work right?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/821-0436/6nlg6fi8u/index.html
I am thinking that using the traditional way to do it.
Use a backup software, for example, networker, TSM, netbackup.. to back up the following:
/rpool
/export/
/export/home
     1. re install the OS
     2. install the backup client
     3. create a zpool (rpool-restore) using a 2nd disk,
     4. mount the new zpool (rpool-restore) to /restore
     5. restore all the file in /restore
     6. install boot blk,
     7. boot from 2nd disk
will it still works?

Archiving Standards for Oracle 9i/10g

Does any know know if there is any official archiving standards for Oracle 9i/10g?
If yes, would you give the hyperlinks to their documents. Thanks.

1) Archive logging and archiving old data records are two radically different concepts. Archive logging is something the database does in ARCHIVELOG mode where an archiver process copies the online redo logs to separate files (archive logs) that are used for backup and recovery purposes. Normally, archive logs are retained just long enough to be useful in recovering the last N backups that have been taken, where N depends on the organization, the criticality of the database, the backup strategy, etc.
2) For archiving old data records, the approach is going to be driven based on the organization's particular requirements and the type of data we're talking about. Among the options
- An ETL process that moves data from an OLTP system to a data warehouse of some description for historical reporting.
- Writing old records to flat files that can be compressed and stored on cheap media (i.e. DVDs) and writing loader applications that can restore the old data to the database.
- Using partitioning and ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) to do things like moving older partitions of a table to less and less expensive media over time, compressing older partitions, dropping the oldest partitions, etc.

RH,
Have you looked at any of the Mercury testing tools? I know they provide adapters for SAP applications and might cover what you need.
Take care,

SAP Content Server Archiving strategy

Hi,
I have installed ECC 6.0 SR3 and SAP Content Server 6.40 recently. Content Server is contains only scanned copies. I want to propose archval strategy for the Content Server.
Any body has document for the same please let me know.
Thanks in advance

hi,
Archiving,
There are both technical and legal reasons for archiving application data. Data Archiving:
· Resolves memory space and performance problems caused by large volumes of transaction data
· Ensures that data growth remains moderate so that the database remains manageable in the long term
· Ensures that companies can meet the legal requirements for data storage in a cost-efficient manner
· Ensures that data can be reused at a later date, for example, in new product development

You can use classifications but there is no auto feature to archive like that on web apps.

Release strategy for PO and Contract

Hi,
I maintain characteritic for PO
Plant
Doc Type
Net Order Value
Purchasing Group
I maintain characteristic for contract
Company code
Target Value
Doc Type
Purchasing group
My class consist of
Plant
Doc Type
Net Order Value
Purchasing Group
Company code
Target value
Q1: Do i need to maintain ALL characteristic value when i define my release strategy for PO or Contract as some characteristic only apply to PO only or contract only?
Q2: What option do i have if i need to maintain all characteristic value ? leave it blank ? empty
Currently my PO release is working fine but when i try to maintain the contract release inside the class . my PO release is not triggering . I maintained diffrent release group for both PO and Contract .
Thank for your advice

First of all
For purchasing like PO,pr,contract you can able to get in ekko table.No need to maintain separate release unless if it your business requirement.Take Document type as one of the characteristics it will distinguish whether it is PO or contract.
You have to maintain all the characteristic value then only it will trigered release.
Check the release indicator as well.
Hope it will help.

Release strategy for quantity contract

Hi Gurus,
In quantity contract .. target value will not filled by the value(in header details) as it is quantityt contract.
We may have different line items with different cost..
my doubt is how the release strategy will be triggered for the quanityt contract and how the system will consider the whole value of the contract..
please explain/clarify
regards
subbu

Hi,
The release strategy for the contract will work in the exact mechanism as for the PO i.e. it will be determined based upon the total net value of the entire purchasing document.
Cheers,
HT

Release Strategy for SA/Contract/PO

Hi friends,
Should we have different release groups and release codes in contracting/ SA/ PO.
Because...
I have maintained 4 characteristics in release strategy for PO _[ Comp Co, plant, porg, total net order value].
But i want to maintan only 2 characteristics in release strategy for contract [plant, total net order value]
because the same is reflecting in contract config also.
Is it possible..please help me frnds.
Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,
Unfortunately you need to maintain characteristics of all possible values for company code and plant for contractsu2019 to subject the release.
Wish that SAP would be more flexible with release of PO, Contract and RFQ but it does not.

Release Strategy for Contract is not getting picked whereas it is ok for PO

Dear Experts,
I have created release strategy for PO with doc type, p.org, net value as chars and frg_ekko as class and release group as 02.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB

Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
Emm

Hi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).
