CS-MARS, data archiving issue.

Hello at all.
I'm using CS-MARS-20.
Reimaged, restored and upgraded to software version 6.1.8, I'm not able to start data archiving successfully.
I have configured data archiving using a remote SFTP server, click Apply, Start and Activate: data archiving status is running, service is enabled and remote server is available.
But MARS doesn't archive nothing!
Using another SFTP remote client with the same account used from appliance, I can create folders, files and remove.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Regards.
Andrea

Now we are moving to a NFS solution.
Data archiving status is running, archiving service is enabled and remote server is available but events, incidents and configuration are not exported.
I can use CLI (pnexp command) to export configuration successfully.
Any ideas?
Why data archiving doesn't work?
Thanks.
Andrea

CS-MARS & data archiving.

I'm using CS-MARS model 20 with software version 6.0.6.
I'm unable to restart data archiving after a SFTP server crash.
I can connect successfully to server from appliance using CLI with SSH client, but archiving reports an error timeout.
From my pc, with the same credentials, I'm able to transfer file, delete and so on.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Regards.

Did you try a discover on the device, set ssh and run discover towards the old ip?
Otherwise I think you need to go with the expert mode to be able to edit known_hosts, but i read this when searching some.
Prior to CS-MARS version 4.1.3, users do not have a method to modify the root password. CS-MARS versions 4.1.3 and later provide the command passwd expert, which allows users to modify a portion of the root password providing additional security. The selected user password is combined with a Cisco controlled component to form a new root password. After performing this step, neither Cisco personnel or the user can access the root account without knowledge of both components used to create the root password. When authorized Cisco development engineers need access to the root account for advanced debugging, both Cisco and the user will need to enter their portion of the configured root password to enable access. Please refer to the Workarounds section of this advisory for more information.
A TAC case for this maybe?

Field catalog issue in Data archiving

Hi Experts,
We are facing issue in SAP CRM Data Archiving info structure. I have created the fieldcatlog for the service Ticket( CRM_SERORD archive object) and Act On ( CRM_ACT_ON archive Object).
in our scenario, multiple Business partner(Consumer, orgnisational and employee) are attached to each Service ticket, in my ZARxx tables are storing the one entry means one service ticket and one Business partner.
My requirment is it should show all the business partners for each service ticket.
Could you please help me on this.

MARS v6 Data Archiving

In the data archiving section (admin - data archiving), what does Remote Storage Capacity in Days mean or what impact does the number of days have on MARS and the data archive location?
I set my storage capacity to 90 days. From MARS documentation, MARS begins archiving from the enable point going forward. So if I start archiving today, I will have to wait 90 days to get 90 days of archived data. The point of my NetPro is what happens on the 91st day? Does MARS stop archiving? Does MARS automatically remove the 1st archived day? I do I need to remove the 1st archived day?
MARS documentationâ¦The data in the NFS or SFTP file share has a life span specified in days. Therefore, to keep a year's worth of data, you would specify 365 days as the value for the Remote Storage Capacity (in Days) field. All data older than 365 days is purged from the archive file.
How is the data purged?
Thanks

Rick,
The answer to your question is yes. You could set the archive for a larger number, too. The limitation is the size of the box.
Here is a replay from the MARS config guide on the subject, which you may have already read:
"Each MARS Appliance seamlessly archives data using an expiration date that you specify. When the MARS internal storage reaches capacity, it automatically purges the data in the oldest partition of the local database, roughly 10% of the stored event and session data. The data in the NFS or SFTP file share has a life span specified in days. Therefore, to keep a year's worth of data, you would specify 365 days as the value for the Remote Storage Capacity (in Days) field. All data older than 365 days is purged from the archive file.
When planning for space requirements, use the following guidance: Estimate 6 GB of storage space for one year's worth of data, received at a sustained 10 events/second. This estimate assumes an average of 200 Bytes/event and a compression factor of 10, both realistic mean values. In addition to capacity planning, plan the placement of your archive server to ensure a reliable network connection that can transmit 10 MB/second exists between the archive server and the MARS Appliance. You should consider using the eth1 interface to avoid high-traffic networks that might introduce latency and to ensure that the backup operation is not competing with other operations in the MARS Appliance. Also, define a default route to the archive server on the MARS Appliance and that you verify any intermediate routers and firewalls allow for multi-hour NFS or SFTP connections to prevent session timeouts during the backup operation."
Hope this helps.

How to get material's last posting date of issuing to production order?

Hi,
In my scenario, I need to get material's last posting date of issuing to production order (e.g. mov. typ. 261).
I tried to select the material documents whose movement type is 261, and restrict the posting date from month to month each time, until the first material document is selected.
But this method seems quite inefficient.
What kind of algorithm is more effient to do this?
Thanks
Wesley

Hi,
select max( budat )
from mkpf
into gv_budat

                        and matnr = gv_matnr "(Issued Material)
                        and bwart = '261' ).

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.

Ajay

Repository A2 is already used for document area DATAARCH (Data Archiving].

Dear ALL,
Actually I am getting probelem Photo configuration in back end.
I am using Transaction SM31 maitaining the table TOAAR_C, here I am getting probelem 'Content Repository Identification' (A2), here i am getting below error.
Repository A2 is already used for document area DATAARCH (Data Archiving].
Please look in to issue.

Jürgen - your answer was very helpful and I'm sure I'm now in the right direction!
However I still have an issue:
When the write job is finished and before deleting and storage, the archive file is not accessible - and then I am not able to continue with deletion and storage.
An example:
Filename: RMM_EKKO11180104855_CLL
Logical path: ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH_WITH_ARCHIVE_LINK
Physical file name: E:SAPContRepZ5RMM_EKKO11180104855_CLL
E:SAPContRepZ5 is the root of the content repository and should according to the documentation contain the file during the delete phase and until final storage in the repository. But there is no file there.
In the log of the write job there are the following entries:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RM06EW70, variant Z_DEMO_7, user ID CLL)
Reading purchasing documents
Archiving session 000913 is being created
Path:
Name for new archive file: RMM_EKKO11180104855_CLL
1 of 1 purchasing documents processed
Job finished
I am a little concern about that no path is written to the job log - could maybe mean something.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Claus.

Best Practise for Data Archiving

Hi All,
I have query in SAP that when business will do the data archving in their R3 systems.
On which basis they will do data archiving?
Is there any minimum period that data need's to be archived?
before doing the data archiving what they will do ?
Regards
Srini

Hi Srini,
1. SAP suggestes to implement data archiving strategy as early as possible to manage database growth .
However pople think of archiving when they realise the problems like large data volumes,slow system resonse time,performance issues etc...
2. There is a proper way to implement Data Archiving . Database has to be anaylzed first for getting the top DB tables and Archiving objects.
3. Based on the DB analysis ,Data archiving plan has to be implenemted according to data management guide.
4. There is a minimum period known as residence time has to be completed before any data to be archived. Once the document is business completed and serverd its minimum required period in the Database ,it can be archived.
5, Before going for data archiving there are many steps to be followed like analysis,configuration etc that you can see in details at the link below :

HI,
ADK-based archiving relies on two main elements, which are used for the development and administration of archiving solutions: Archive Development Kit (ADK) and Archive Administration (transaction SARA).
ADK and SARA are part of the standard SAP Web Application Server. ADK is the Application Programming Interface used by the applications to develop archiving solutions, while Archive Administration (transaction SARA) is used mainly by data archiving administrators to manage all tasks related to data archiving, including job scheduling and management, writing, reading and deletion of data, as well as Customizing.
Pls check the link:http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/ed/18cc38e6df4741a264bddcd4f98ae2/frameset.htm
This issue is to be solved with the ABAP consultant, dealing with the Web based applicaitions...

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.

SAP Support for Data Archiving

Hello,
We just wanted to confirm if SAP will support issues if we encounter issues while restoring data archived via SARA. For example, if in the process of restoring archived data a defect is found, is this still supported by SAP?

Hi
Supported and the SAP Data Archiving Support Tools are SARA , DART and SARI
SARA --- SAP Archive Administration
All data archiving activities commence with Archive administration (transaction SARA). SARA provides the overall administration of archiving schedules and manages the archiving sessions. The process includes customization of objects, their conversion to archived sequential archived files and most importantly, their overall management. In addition to these, the archive administration process also retrieves the archived files and converts the data through an automated process, if there is a change in software, hardware or the data structure. The data archiving process is streamlined and simplified through the Central command of archiving administration
DART --- Data Retention Tool
A data retention strategy is required for retaining enterprise information for long periods of time. The Data Retention Tool (DART) provides this functionality. It is capable of extracting data, which is period-specific as well as any supporting information. DART transforms database objects into flat files that can be read by any third-party software designed for flat files. It is available as an add-on for older versions of SAP R/3, but is an integrated feature of the recent versions of SAP R/3.
SARI --- SAP Archive Information System
SARI provides much-needed retrieval capabilities against previously archived data. It requires the archive files be loaded into new tables in the database. In this approach, AS requires detailed, technical knowledge of the database table structure and field layouts. Database structure of an enterprise needs to be flexible and dynamic to be able to quickly adapt to organisational changes. It might happen that the current database structure is not compatible with the structure of database when archive files were initially generated. Archive Information System is a standard tool delivered by SAP that facilitates customized access to the archived data

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)

Windows 8.1 Data reordering issue with Intel Adaptors

According to Intel, there is a data reordering issue with their adaptors and probably this dumb WIDI software. This is from Intel site. they say some are fixed, "A future Windows 8 fix will address this issue for other Intel wireless adapters." I
have one Nope, still broke. I get drops all the time. Brand new Toshiba laptop I7 16 gigs of ram and a SSD and a 2 gig Vid card. Would be nice to be able to play games but I get dropped all the time. Now would Microsoft quit hiding
about this, and fix the darn thing. Also i'm a system admin for 13 years. I have build over 1000 PCs and servers. I know bad software. Please fix this. PLEASE. Its not going to just go away and its not just Toshiba, I have seen other companies with the
same problem. If there is a Fix PLEASE POST IT. Or even a workaround I have tried everything.

Hi,
Have your first tried the software fix under this link for your network adapter?
http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/proset-ws/sb/CS-034041.htm
Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
Also, you can try to check if there is any driver update under Device manager from manufacture's website.

Yep didn't work. Still get drops all the time, had to run a Cat 5E cable to my laptop from my modem, because I have Atheros Gigabyte Lan adaptor. Works Great. The Wireless still drops all the time. Has Microsoft let out the patch to fix this or is it coming in
April in the 8.1 patch that's coming. Funny thing is all for Widi, I don't even use widi, I got the software to do that from Samsung works better on my TV. Intel and Microsoft need to get this fixed. because their driving off gamers and that's the
people that make sure they buy Microsoft so they can play games. With the wireless link dead and a great laptop worthless what's the point. Ive been in IT for 13 years building PCs and Servers how I knew how to run a 60 FT Cat 5e line thru
a 2 story house and terminate it. Most people don't. Fix the problem.

CS-MARS, data archiving issue.
