Data Archiving and ABAP

Hi All,
I am an ABAPer and recently came accross the process of data archiving..
Can anyone tell me what significance data archiving has w.r.t ABAP.Are they interrelated at any point??
Waiting for Reply..
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
As a developer you must be aware of the fact that what ever application are provided by SAP they all are using codes written in ABAP in background .
Similarly we have a tool Archive Developent Kit (ADK) provided by SAP that uses various programs written in ABAP grouped in the form of Archive object to perform Archiving Successfully in any system.
Yes Archiving and ABAP both are interrelated and an ABPER can very well understand how actually there programs functions at runtime while we Archive data from the database.
Another imporeant thing is apart from the standard Archive Objects provided by SAP sometimes requiremnets comes for custom Objects to be created which requires good indepth knowledge of ABAP.
I hope my answer will help you understand the assosiation of ABAP and Data Archiving.

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.

Goldengate Extracts reads slow during Table Data Archiving and Index Rebuilding Operations.

We have configured OGG on a near-DR server. The extracts are configured to work in ALO Mode.
During the day, extracts work as expected and are in sync. But during any dialy maintenance task, the extracts starts lagging, and read the same archives very slow.
This usually happens during Table Data Archiving (DELETE from prod tables, INSERT into history tables) and during Index Rebuilding on those tables.
Points to be noted:
1) The Tables on which Archiving is done and whose Indexes are rebuilt are not captured by GoldenGate Extract.
2) The extracts are configured to capture DML opeartions. Only INSERT and UPDATE operations are captured, DELETES are ignored by the extracts. Also DDL extraction is not configured.
3) There is no connection to PROD or DR Database
4) System functions normally all the time, but just during table data archiving and index rebuild it starts lagging.
Q 1. As mentioned above, even though the tables are not a part of capture, the extracts lags ? What are the possible reasons for the lag ?
Q 2. I understand that Index Rebuild is a DDL operation, then too it induces a lag into the system. how ?
Q 3. We have been trying to find a way to overcome the lag, which ideally shouldn't have arised. Is there any extract parameter or some work around for this situation ?

Hi Nick.W,
The amount of redo logs generated is huge. Approximately 200-250 GB in 45-60 minutes.
I agree that the extract has to parse the extra object-id's. During the day, there is a redo switch every 2-3 minutes. The source is a 3-Node RAC. So approximately, 80-90 archives generated in an hour.
The reason to mention this was, that while reading these archives also, the extract would be parsing extra Object ID's, as we are capturing data only for 3 tables. The effect of parsing extract object id's should have been seen during the day also. The reason being archive size is same, amount of data is same, the number of records to be scanned is same.
The extract slows down and read at half the speed. If normally it would take 45-50 secs to read an archive log of normal day functioning, then it would take approx 90-100 secs to read the archives of the mentioned activities.
Regarding the 3rd point,
a. The extract is a classic extract, the archived logs are on local file system. No ASM, NO SAN/NAS.
b. We have added "TRANLOGOPTIONS BUFSIZE" parameter in our extract. We'll update as soon as we see any kind of improvements.

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.

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.

Sys tables from flashback data archive?

Hi,
I am prototyping flashback data archive and I have been following some tutorials.
When I query
user_flashback_archive_tables
I can see the table for which I have configured FBDA. I can see also the name of the History table, like SYS_FBA_HIST_xxxxx (xxxxxx being the object_id of the table).
But I just cannot find the table in USER_TABLES or USER_TAB_PARTITIONS.
The history seems to be getting stored... The sql-developer display the history in the "flashback" tab. But why aren't the SYS_FBA_HIST_xxxx tables getting created?
(I am using 11gR2 running on EL5 Linux)

The SYS_FBA_xxx belongs to SYS user. To be able to see them you must query DBA_TABLES and have SELECT privilege on DBA_TABLES or role SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.You can also just try to connect as SYS:
SQL> select table_name from dba_tables where table_name like 'SYS_FBA%';
TABLE_NAME
SYS_FBA_HIST_73563
SYS_FBA_TCRV_73563
SYS_FBA_DDL_COLMAP_73563
SYS_FBA_DL
SYS_FBA_USERS
SYS_FBA_PARTITIONS
SYS_FBA_TRACKEDTABLES
SYS_FBA_BARRIERSCN
SYS_FBA_TSFA
SYS_FBA_FA

Archive and Purge provisions in GRC suite

Hi,
I'm trying to understand the Archive and Purge options provided / offered by GRC suite but have very skeletal information. Can somebody help me on that front?
Balaji K

In a nutshell,purging is removal of data from a system or storage device with the intent that the data can not be reconstructed by any known technique. In GRC Suite purging has similar concept to purge incident stored after a long period of tie and storage (AACG). You can also purge snapshop or change tracking definitions in CCG. General rule of thumb, ensure you follow your company policies with regards to data archive and purging and access to these functionalities within the GRC Control Suite should be restricted.

Unable to access Archived data with an ABAP Query

I have an ABAP Query that uses Logical Database KDF (Vendor) for reporting.
KDF is Archive Enabled and I can access archived document via SAP standard programs that used the KDF Logical Database.
the query appears accessing the data but nothing shows on the report.
Has anyone successfully written and ABAP query and included access to the Archived data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Gena,
I'm facing exactly the same problem as you...
Since this post is an old one, I imagine that you may not remember, but I have to try...
Have you solved it? If yes, could you please tell me how?
I've tried to use CL_ABAP_GZIP and CL_ABAP_UNGZIP_BINARY_STREAM and I'm getting the same error 30 at the IctDecompressStream function.
Tks in advance,
Flavio.

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

Differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?

What is the differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
are they same?

Tables :
1. The place where the data is stored so that you can retrieve at any time.
2. There can be more than one record stored
Structures :
1. The data / info stays only during the runtime of the application and will not get stored at all during the run time ....
2. Only one record can be stored at the runtime .....
A structure forms the skeleton of the table.
A structure comprises components i.e., fields. Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth
Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.
