Delete Archived Messages

Currently, My Mail Archive is about 3GB. I would like to export this to an external drive then delete the items in the Achive Folder on my computer to reduce the install footprint.
1.     If I export the mail, can I get at it again by importing the exported mailbox
2.     If I delete the mail in the Archive Folder in Mail on my MacBook Pro, will I still be able to access the mail on my external Hard Drive?
3.     Will deleting the Archived mail affect the other saved messages in other mailboxes I have created, like Family or Friends or some other folder?
Thanks for your thoughts and advice

Hi Ahmed,
The below link in your given thread does have sth related
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/6c2af1f6-0a01-0010-7cb5-a554afb0f03c
But it doesnot answer my question.
I will clarify my question again in more detail.
I want to delete the Archiving session data, index data for the archives and the archived files stored in filesystem.
I want to delete all the arvhived sessions related data which is 6 weeks old. This taks should be possible by using some job, which I can schedule daily with a variable for 6 weeks.
I hope this make my question more clear.
Thanks and Regards,

ABAP error in deleting archived messages

Hello all,
We seem to be having a problem when deleting archived messages.
The archiving background jobs runs periodically (SAP_BC_XMB_ARCHIVE....).
The first part works fine ARV_BC_XMB_WRP...., and i can view the list of the message ids that have been archived in files.
The second bit ARV_BC_XMB_DEL... fails to due a runtime error "NO_DDIC_TYPE":
check for dictionary type
rel_name = me->get_relative_name( ).
if me->is_ddic_type( ) = ABAP_FALSE or rel_name is initial.
raise no_ddic_type.
endif.
Has anyone come across the above error?
Object BC_XMB has been activated, but i have unable to fill it.
Any input will much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dimitris

Delete Archived messages files

Hi,
I am using filesystem to archive XI messages.
I want to delete the old archived files from the filesystem,
as the filesystem is getting fill with old data.
I don't want to keep archived files which are 6 weeks old.
I can delete the files at OS level. But thats not a proper way
of doing it.
I am not sure where can I configure this in SAP.
If some knows a method then please let me know.

How to delete the archived messages?

Archiving is setup and running in our PI systems. ( I used the SDN doc, "Archive and Delete Messages in SAP. XI: A Step-by-Step Guide")
I'm now looking to automate the deletion of the archived messages (NOT the deletion of the original message in the DB, but the data that has been written out to the O/S -- the actual archived data file.
Any pointers on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.
-Joe Rufo

The archive job creates the files in the files system you configured. These files contain the archived messages..
What you can do is run periodic jobs to deletes files which are older than a certain date...
If there are certain types of messages you want to hold on for a longer period...then archive them seperately... and run a different batch job to clear the files...

Issue with Archiving & Deletion of messages in PI ,SXMB_MONI messages

Hello experts
I am working on Archiving & Deletion of messages in PI ,SXMB_MONI, i have fallowed all the steps which are avialable in /people/deepak.shah/blog/2010/04/22/archiving-deletion-of-messages-in-pi--part-2, but the messages still there in SXMB_MONI.
please help me to resolve this issue.
regards
chandra

Hi Krish
i have fallowed steps like....
in SXMB_ADM
>>>step 1: Define the interface for archivng and retnetion period
>>>step2):Schedule Archive Jobs,
after this i have checked the in SM37 the jobs got sheduled and released after that it showing finished.
>>>step3):ARV_BC_XMB_WRP<date> (archiving, step 1)
ARV_BC_XMB_DEL<date> (archiving, step 2)
here i am getting message like "0 XML messages got archived".
"0 XML message for deleated".
I have doubt in SXMBPMAST table here when i check the status of interface , ITFACTION field is containing the value INIT and if I understood correctly it job deletes only those messages where ITFACTION is set to DEL.
We are actually trying to delete the messages avoiding archiving but what I am seeing is we cannot delete error messages and for them we must have to go through archiving. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks

Archive instead of delete gmail messages in Mail

Does anyone know of a way to force Apple Mail to archive messages rather than move them to the trash. I'd like to be able to keep my Inbox clear but keep a copy of all my messages. At the moment the only solution I've found is to drag the message to the "all mail" folder but this is rather laborious.
Ideally when I'd like an archive button or keyboard shortcut so that when I've finished with an email I can quickly archive and move onto the next message.
I understand it is possible to do this with Thunderbird but I like the mobileme syncing of notes from my iPhone with Mail.
Thanks

I have a similar question regarding how to save deleted messages from a .me mail account (IMAP). I like to keep my inbox limited to one page of e-mails. Rather than drag the e-mails that I have read to some on my Mac folder, I prefer just to delete them. It is much faster. However, now mobile me is permanently erasing the trash after 30 days. This has resulted in several months of lost e-mail which is now unobtainable. I have a cloned backup, Time Machine, and Mozy–none of which seem able to restore the old e-mail. There is a preference in mail which has an option to never permanently erase deleted messages. Apparently this does not apply to mobile me.
Is there any way to delete messages from the inbox and not have them go to the trash but rather preserve them forever on my Mac or on mobile me? Or, do I have to individually drag each one over to a folder to preserve them?
Thanks

How to delete / cancel messages in PI adapter engine

Hello expert,
we have a scenario File (EOIO) --> PI --> ABAP. Today the file we received is big (>100mb), apparently PI can't handle it, and we got error
Transmitting the message to endpoint http://host:port/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException:
Error transmitting the message over HTTP. Reason: java.io.IOException: Error writing to server.
seems like PI adapter engine got problem while delivering the huge message to ABAP integration engine. In RWB message monitoring, the message is set to Error. Unfortunately the file has been picked up many times, thus the huge message is stuck in adpater engine. In RWB message monitoring, I can see the message listed many times and status is HOLDING because the previous message can not be delivered to Intergration engine. I want to delete/cancel all the messages, I tried in RWB message monitoring to cancell the messages, however after cancelling one message, it crashed the PI system and cause a reboot.
My question is; Is there some place in NWA (net weaver admin) to force all the messages to be deleted? (Because deleting/cancel in RWB message monitoring does not work because it causes system crash).
Thanks

How to delete the messages from SXMB_MONI which are already cancelled .

Hi All,
The messages were earlier in System error(Red flag) state so i cancelled it manually.
I want to know how to delete the messages from sxmb_moni which are already cancelled manually using ctrl+f8.
if not possible , then i want to see them in earlier state i.e.., in System error(Red flag).
can any tell me the procedure of doing it.
thanks
Sai.

Hi AmitSri,
Thanks for u r reply,
What is retention period, where can i find this option.
And i don't have authorizations to sxmb_adm --> configure delete procedure
--> Define interfaces for archiving and retention period.
and to RSXMB_DELETE_MESSAGES in se38 , i don't have authorizations to run
Is there any way to delete the messages or make them to System error( Red flag) which are manually cancelled.
Thanks
Sai.

How to delete gmail messages in Mail for Mac

I am using Mail 7.3 on my Macbook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.5.
I use Gmail for my email.
When I DELETE a message in Gmail it goes into the Gmail Archive (and stays in the All Mail folder)- it does NOT get Deleted.
Gmail help says I need to drag each message to the Trash when using Mail as Delete will not work.
Really?
This is a drag to do, besides there is no Trash folder.
I have a 'Bin' folder and a 'Deleted Messages' folder so I'm trying to use them.
Still for Mail and Gmail not to be compatible for Delete seems crazy.
I have tried changing the Mailbox Behaviours in Preferences but it seems to make no difference.

I Wonder if your sitting there laughing at us as if there is some big conspiracy about selecti all and deleting all from our iPhones and iPads.
The conspiracy.
Why can we not just not select all in the mail inbox and then delete all, if we do not want to delete every single one of them then deselect the few that we do not want to delete instead of having to select the thousands we do want delete individually.
And if you do make a mistake and delete the wrong emails by selecting all, then go to your trash and reinstate the ones you did not want to delete
I think 99% of us know how to DELETE emails individually, as you put it.
That's just sarcasm and if not then then your not fully understanding the question asked.
I would also say that probably 99% of us want to be able to select all and delete all if that's what we desire.
I would just like a honest answer of why we cannot select all delete all rather than giving me a load of rubbish about encase we delete something we didn't want to delete.

Deleting error messages in PI 7.1

Hi ALL,
I cancelled system error messages from Message monitoring of RWB I need to know what happens to that message is that completely removed from the tables if yes how does it happen.
Is there any other method of removing messages which are error and successfully processed...I am told there is a method of archiving and deletion of messages can you send some document for that we are using PI 7.1.
What will be the retention period of messages ideally.?
Thanks
Souz

The archiving and deletion of messages happens from the DB and the configuration is the same as it happened for lower versions.
So the document for PI7.0 should hold good for PI7.1 also.

Deleting error messages in ABAP stack and JAVA stack

Hello,
found some useful answers here about deleting messages
which are successfully delivered!
What I miss is an answer about:
a) Error messages in RWB
In Component monitoring -> Archiving you can plan a job to delete messages in status "successful" or "Cancelled with errors".
To cancel jobs you have to do this one by one. With reaction time from page manual cancellation needs hours for 100 messages (Ok, there is a multiple selection button you can use to tag per list screen!).
Now I have lots of message here
- System error
- to be delivered
- cancelled with errors (from system, special case, see next question)
ready to be erased (yes, sure about that!)
Is this the only way here to proceed?
Other question: looks like there is a default time frame for the job which looks like it is more than two months for "successful". "Cancelled with errors" is only deleted from list when reaching this status with the available button "Cancel" but not for messages with status "Cancelled with errors" set by the system.
Any chance to change that time frame.
And what about the messages "Cancelled...." by the system?
b) ABAP stack
OK, delete job is running. But looks like there is a default time frame "delete older than 2 months" (different from a! where it is more than 2 months)
I tried to delete some error messages with function "Cancel message with errors".
Now these messages are cancelled in SXMB_MONI (displayed with different status sign "Pencil").
Starting deletion job has no effect on them. Why? Because they are cancelled today and are not considered by the time frame of the deletion job?
Any help is appreciated!
(This tool is confusing me more and more! )
Hm, looks like nobody knows about this issue?
Regards
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
I am also facing the issue for deleting the messages with errors or if i have cancelled them.
Did you find any solution for these issues. Kindly let me know if you have find out any solution.
thanks

Archiving message in Adapter Engine in XI 3.0

Dear all,
Could you please explain the procedure of Archiving Messages in Adapter Engine in XI 3.0.
I have read many blogs regarding deleting messages in Adapter Engine, but nowhere i can see about Archiving.
I have been told that activating and scheduling "Default Version Archive Job" in RWB->Components->Adapter Engine->Background Processing would solve the purpose.
But while activating, i am unale to set rules, as it gives error " Rules are not allowed for jobs with set 'archive edited messages only' flag."
Thanks and regards

Deleting XI Messages - Abap dump in Delete job

Hi all,
I would like to know if we could directly delete xml messages without archiving. We are working on a sandbox system.
I tried to schedule a delete job ARCDEL_Delete_20080612115401 / 11540100.
It cancelled giving an abap dump CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND.
the abap dump is as follows:
    The function module " " is called,
    but cannot be found in the library.
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "ARCDEL_DELETE_PARA" had to be terminated because it
     has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Any idea why a function module with no name is called?
Thank you.

Archive Messages in XI

I am trying to Archive messages in our dev environment. I have completed steps listed in the below document

When I tried to do a read using SARA I dont see any files / messages created. When the job is run from SXMB_ADM it runs with a messages 0 messages deleted. I wanted to know what I am missing and any help would be great.

Hi
Check my replies in this post.
you need to set-up archiving before the interface is run (msg is sent)

How do I delete a message? Using Imap and gmail

I am using imap with gmail in apple mail for leopard. I get the idea that when you press the delete button it only deletes the inbox tag and it is still available for reference in "all mail" on the left window. I like this, it allows me to clear out my inbox and still reference e-mails later. Here is the question... How do I really delete a message, one I truly never care to see again? My "all mail" is getting out of control.

This is what I do:
In preferences, I set my Gmail account as recommended by Google: I UNcheck the "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors. Once I do that, clicking "Delete" from the inbox actually archives it into the All Mail, but leaves it in my mailbox.
If there is an email I actually want to delete from my account, I move it from my Inbox to the Trash folder. I do this with a MailActOn keystroke, but you can do it just by moving it or dragging it there.
MailActOn helps a bunch if you have a lot of emails. I process about 300 a day and rely on it for maintaining my sanity, especially since I can set the same keystroke to do different things in different accounts, since I "delete" and "archive" differently for different accounts.
