Answer 1

Hi Ganesh,
It will take couple of days to inform all the information of archiving, but i will try to give brief explanation regarding archiving FILE configuration:
Prerequisites of archiving are
You should have storage system connected to your system.
FILE configuration: T.Code -- FILE
You can create your own Logical file name, Logical file path, Physical file name
and Physical file path. For more detail information please see SAP Help.
1. Create Logical File path: Example: Z_ARCHIVE_PATH
2. Assign this to physical file path, Here you should know what is your operating system. Based on that select the syntax group and create your Physical file path. Example: if it is UNIX -- /archiving/<FILENAME>
3 Create Logical File Name. Example:
Enter “Z_ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE_TECH”
   Physical File:
Enter “D_<PARAM_3>_<PARAM_2>_<DATE>_<TIME>”
PARAM 3 gives Archiving object name, PARAM_2 gives one character alphabetic code, which guarantees that the archive file is unique.
*Data Format:
Set to “ASC”
Application. Area:
Set to “BC”
*Logical Path:
Set to “Z_ARCHIVE_DATA_PATH”
After creating the this assign the logical file name to Archiving objects. It is assigned in SARA > Enter AO > Click on Customizing > Archiving Object specific customizing Technical settings --- Assign Logical file name.
Here in this screen you can also mention File size as 100 MB. Meaning after 100MB of first file second archive file is created.
You can also configure whether u want to have automatic deletion run or manually to schedule the deletion job.
Similarly you can also schedule the automatic store job.
