Help in BW Archiving

We are in the process of moving data from our present BW system.
Can anyone suggest whether to use a nearline storage or an offline storage system or both.
If we archive data using ADK in BI, how good will be the retrieval of archived data.
i.e. using transaction SARI in BI only displays data, but no reporting can be done on it.
Please Help.

Hi Hari,
So if i have to do reporting on the archived data, then I will have to reload that data right.
Also the user will have to ask which data has to be reloaded. eg. 193-001 archived session would be containing that required data. Will it be the duty of the archive administrator to fetch that data for the user, or does ADK has some functionality to do that automatically.
Please reply, Points will surely be given.

Help , i just archived my iphoto library, and now it won't open

How do i unzip the library and put it back? I'm getting a message that the files are unreadable. I've had sooo much trouble with iphoto since upgrading to '06 and now this! I've been getting a messaage everytime i use the iphoto to rebuild the thumbnails, so I read about how to do it with starting with the option key etc, thought i'd also back it up and archived it to use less space on the dvd and now there are a lot of missing pictures; it's like my one library just vanished, there are none of my albums or titles etc. Anyway when I was moving the library folder to the burn folder to burn it, it just vanished, and now all I have is the archived folder.

Since posting the above I have been on the phone with a tech, I had redownload the stuffit expander, to unzip the file. I had backed up the pictures so will add them later, but here is the issue, I am very low on disk space so have added an external HD which i am trying to put photo libraries in. I printed an article "how to store libraries on exernal HD", in the rticle it says to rename the files on the original HD, can I remove them instead (after saving to disk, of course)?
Also, I have 15G of disk space we could not account for, the tech suspects hidden files, but says they do not deal with locating them and removing them, reccomended erasing HD and starting over, but would like that to be a last resort. I have four users on my machine two of which are for my grandchildren who use it mainly for "my space" and "Limewire" Has anyone here had a problem with either of these sites? I'm looking for alternaive suggestions about where the disk space has gone prior to erasing my hard drive. This is a very recent problem, and my mac is running poorly due to lack of space on the harddrive. I am moving my photo libraries to the external HD as I had planned anyway so i don't have to worry about space. It is a 250G WDC My Book Essential Edition. I am running the 6.0 iPhoto program. I am calling the support tech for iphoto but think it is unlikely that I have 15G of missing space due to photos, so could use your help. Thanks.

Would you like help me regarding archiving please .. ?

Dear All,
We're in the archiving project ..
We here have scenario to reload/restore archived data from BW Production to BW Development server ...
I did try it: I moved the archived file to archived known storage in BW Development, but it didn't recognize it ..
My questions:
1. Is it possible to get the scenario be done ??? How can i make it ??
2. I run t-code AOBJ and found that there is reload program (e.g. of the program: SBOOKL), What is it for ?? Could this program solve my case above ??
Really need ur guidances all.
Best regards,

Data Archiving
Data Archiving u2013 a service provided by SAP u2013 removes mass data that the system no longer needs online, but which must still be accessible at a later date if required, from the database.
Data Archiving removes from the database application data from closed business transactions that are no longer relevant for the operational business. The archived data is stored in archive files that can be accessed by the system in read-only mode.
The following graphic illustrates the archiving process:
Reasons for 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
Data Archiving Requirements
Data archiving is intended to do more than simply save the contents of database tables. Data archiving must also take the following requirements into consideration:
Hardware independence
Release dependence
Data Dependencies
Enterprise and business structure
Optical Archiving
The term u201Coptical archivingu201D generally describes the electronic storage and management of documents in storage systems outside of the SAP Business environment. Examples of documents that can be stored in this way include:
Scanned-in original documents, such as incoming invoices
Outgoing documents, such as invoices created in mySAP Financials that are created electronically, then sent in printed form
Print lists created in mySAP Business Suite
Residence Time and Retention Periods
The residence time is the minimum length of time that data must spend in the database before it meets the archivability criteria. Residence times can be set in application-specific Customizing.
The retention period is the entire time that data spends in the database before it is archived. The retention period cannot be set.
Ex: If the residence time is a month, data that has been in the system for two months will be archived. Data that is only three weeks old remains in the database.
Backup & Restore
Backup is a copy of the database contents that can be used in the case of a system breakdown. The aim is that as much of the database as possible can be restored to its state before the system breakdown. Backups are usually made at regular intervals according to a standard procedure (complete or incremental backup).
Reloading the saved data into the file system is called restoring the data.
Archiving Features
Data Security
Data archiving is carried out in two steps (a third step u2013 storage of archive files u2013 is optional: In the first step, the data for archiving is copied to archive files. In the second step, the data is deleted from the database. This two-step process guarantees data security if problems occur during the archiving process.
For example, the procedure identifies network data transfer errors between the database and the archive file. If an error occurs, you can restart the archiving process at any time because the data is still either in the database or in an archive file. This means that you can usually archive parallel to the online application, that is, during normal system operation, without having to back up the database first.
You can further increase data security if you store the archive files in an external storage system before you delete the data from the database. This guarantees that the data from the database will only be deleted after it has been securely stored in an external storage system.
Data Compression
During archiving, data is automatically compressed by up to a factor of 5. However, if the data to be archived is stored in cluster tables, no additional compression takes place.
Storage Space Gained
Increased storage space in the database and the resulting performance gains in the application programs are the most important benefits of data archiving. Therefore it is useful to know how much space the data to be archived takes up in the database. It may also help to know in advance how much space the archive files that you create will need.
Note: - Data is compressed before it is written to the archive file. The extent of the compression depends on how much text (character fields) the object contains.
Archiving without Backup
With SAP Data Archiving, data can be archived independently from general backup operations on the database. However, SAP recommends that you backup archive files before storing them.
Accessing Archived Data
Because archived data has only been removed from the database and not from the application component itself, the data is always available. Archive management allows three types of access:
1.     (Read) access to a single data object, such as an accounting document
2.     Analysis of an archive file (sequential read)
3.     Reload into the database (not possible for all archiving objects)
Converting Old Archive Files
When archived data is read, the system automatically makes the conversions required by hardware and software changes.
When old archive files are accessed, the Archive Development Kit (ADK) can make allowances for changes to database structures (field types, field lengths, new fields, and deleted fields) after the data was archived and for changes to hardware-dependent storage formats. This is only done on a temporary basis during read access. The data in the archive file is not changed. The following items are changed (if necessary) during automatic conversion:
Database table schema (new and deleted columns)
Data type of a column
Column length
Code page (ASCII, EBCDIC)
Number format (such as the use of the integer format on various hardware platforms)
If database structures in an application have undergone more changes than the ADK can handle (for example, if fields have been moved from one table to another or if one table has been divided into several separate tables), then a program is usually provided by the relevant mySAP Business Suite solution for the permanent conversion of existing archive files.
Link to External Storage System
Archive files created by Data Archiving can be stored on tertiary storage media, such as WORMs, magnetic-optical disks (MO), and tapes using the SAP Content Management Infrastructure (which also contains the ArchiveLink/CMS interface). This can be done manually or automatically.
You can also store archive files in the file system of an HSM system. The HSM system manages the archive files automatically. For storage, the HSM system can also use tertiary storage media, such as MO-disks.
CMI/R u2013 Content Management Infrastructure / Repository
HSM u2013 Hierarchical Storage Management Systems
Archiving Procédure
The basic Archiving procedure is carried out in three steps,
Creating the Archive Files
Storing Archive Files
Executing the Delete Programs
Security Vs Performance
Optionally, you can store archive files after the delete phase. To do this, you must mark Delete Phase Before Storage in archiving object-specific Customizing.
If security is your main concern, then you should not schedule the delete phase until after the archive files have been stored. In this way you know that the data will only be deleted from the database after the archive files have successfully been moved to the external storage system. In addition, you can set the system to read the data from the storage system and not from the file system.
However, if your main concern is the performance of the archiving programs, then you should schedule the delete program first and then store the files.
Creating Archive Files (WRITE)
In step one, the write program creates an archive file. The data to be archived is then read from the database and is written to the archive file in the background. This process continues until one of following three events occurs:
All the data is written to an archive file
Archiving is not complete, but the archive file reaches the maximum size specified in archiving object-specific Customizing
The archiving is not yet finished, but the archive file contains the maximum number of data objects specified in Customizing.
If in cases 2 and 3 there is still data to be archived, the system will create another archiving file.
Storing Archive Files (STORE)
Once the write program has finished creating archive files, these can be stored. There are several ways of storing archive files:
Storage Systems:
If a storage system is connected to mySAP Business Suite: At the end of a successful write job, a request is sent to this system to store the new archive files (provided the appropriate settings were made in Archiving Object-Specific Customizing. You can also store archive files manually at a later point if you do not want them to be stored automatically. Storage is carried out by the SAP Content Management Infrastructure (which contains the ArchiveLink/CMS interface).
HSM Systems:
If you use an HSM system, it is sufficient to maintain the file name in Customizing (Transaction FILE). You do not then need to communicate with the storage system using the SAP Content Management Infrastructure, because the HSM system stores the files on suitable storage media according to access frequency and storage space.
Existing Storage Media:
Once the delete program has processed the relevant archive file, you can manually copy archive files to tape.
Running Delete Programs
After closing the first archive file, the archive management system creates a new archive file and continues with the archiving process. While this happens, another program reads the archived data from the completed archive file and deletes it from the database. This procedure guarantees that only data that has been correctly saved in the archive file is deleted from the database.
If you do not carry out deletion until after the data has been stored, you can make a setting in Archiving Object-Specific Customizing so that the system will read archive files the from the storage system during deletion. In this way, you can detect errors in good time which might arise when transferring or saving the archive files in the storage system.
When the last archive file is closed, a delete program starts to run for this file. The graphic shows that several delete programs are running simultaneously for previously created archive files. Because, unlike the delete program, the write program does not generally carry out any transactions that change data in the transactions, the write program creates new archive files faster than they can be processed by the delete program. This decreases the total archiving runtime because the database is used more efficiently.
Note:-
Scheduling the Archive jobs outside SARA

     Parameter is Session Number
To analyze the archiving information of a particular session, use FM
     ARCHIVE_GET_FILES_OF_SESSION
     Input is Session Number
Archiving Object
The archiving object is a central component of SAP Data Archiving. The archiving object specifies precisely which data is archived and how. It describes which database objects must be handled together as a single business object and interprets the data irrespective of the technical specifications at the time of archiving (such as release and hardware).
Note:-
     An archiving object has a name of up to ten characters in length.
     Transaction code to maintain the Archiving Object is AOBJ.
The following programs must (or can) be assigned to an archiving object. The SAP System contains programs (some of which are optional) for the following actions:
Preprocessing (Optional)
Some archiving objects require a preprocessing program that prepares the data for archiving. This preprocessing program marks data to be archived, but it does not delete any data from the database. Preprocessing programs must always be scheduled manually and are run from Archive Administration.
Write
This program creates archive files and writes data to them. At this point, however, no data is being deleted from the database.
You can specify in archiving object-specific Customizing whether the next phase (delete) is to take place automatically after the archive files have been created. Delete jobs can also be event-triggered. To do this, you set up the trigger event in archiving object-specific Customizing.
Delete
This function can entail several activities. The activities are always dependent on the existing archive files. Normally, the data is deleted from the data base. However, in some case, the archived data in the database may only have a delete indicator.
In archiving object-specific Customizing, you can specify that archive files, after successful processing, are to be transferred to an external storage system using the SAP Content Management Infrastructure (which contains the ArchiveLink/CSM interface).
Postprocessing (Optional)
This function is usually carried out after deletion has taken place. It is not available for all archiving objects. If the data has not yet been deleted from the database by the delete program, it is deleted by the postprocessing program.
Reload Archive (Optional)
You can reload archived data from the archive files into the database using this function. It is not available for all archiving objects. To access this function, choose Goto ® Reload.
Index (Optional)
This function builds (or deletes) an index that allows individual access. It is not included in every archiving object.
Data Object
A data object is the application-specific instance of an archiving object, that is, an archiving object filled with concrete application data. The Archive Development Kit (ADK) ensures that data objects are written sequentially to an archive file. All data objects in an archive file have the same structure, which is described in the archiving object.
Archive Administration (SARA)
All interaction relating to data archiving takes place in the Archive Administration (transaction SARA). Features of Archive Administration:
Preprocessing
     Write
     Delete
     Postprocessing
     Read - Enables you to schedule and run a program that reads and analyzes archived data.
     Index
     Storage System - Enables archive files to be transferred to a connected storage system and
                                         enables stored archive files to be retrieved from a storage system.
     Management - Offers an overview of archiving sessions for one archiving object.
Depending on the action you have selected, you can use Goto on the menu to access the following menu options:
     Network Graphic
     Reload
     Customizing
     Job Overview
     Management
     Stored Files
     Database Tables
     Infosystems
     Statistics
     Interrupting and Continuing
Archive Development Kit
The Archive Development Kit (ADK) is a tool for developing archiving solutions. It also prepares the runtime environment for archiving. From a technical viewpoint, it is an intermediate layer between the application program and the archive that provides all the functions required for archiving data.
The ADK functions are required for archiving and for subsequent access to archived data. The ADK automatically performs the hardware-dependent adjustments (such as code page and number format) and structural changes that are required when archive files are created. When the archive files are accessed later, the ADK temporarily converts data that was archived using earlier SAP releases.
Note:-
S_ARCHIVE is the SAP delivered user authorization check object over archiving objects. The Archive Development Kit (ADK) performs the check when an archive file is opened for one of the following actions:
Write
Delete
Read
Reload
Database Tables in Archive Administration (DB15)
This enables you to display all of the tables for a specific archiving object and as well as allows to display the list of Archiving Objects on a particular database table. Also enables to display the storage and space statistics. This also provides further information, such as the time and number of the last archiving session and various details on the client used.
Network Graphic
You can use the network graphic to show any existing dependencies between archiving objects. It shows business process flows and contexts that can influence the archiving sequence. In particular, at the start of an archiving object, you can use the network graphic to obtain a good overview of related documents.
In an archiving session, you must take into account any dependencies between archiving objects that require a specific archiving sequence. In general, you cannot archive data for an archiving object that has preceding objects until these preceding objects have been archived.
You can use the network graphic to determine whether the archiving object that you want to use has preceding objects. If so, the preceding objects should be implemented before the current archiving object. The nodes in the network graphic represent the archiving objects. A node displays the following information:
Archive Object Name
Application Component Name
Short Description
Date of last archiving
Status of the session
     If status is u2018Greenu2019
     Archiving and Deletion is Successful
     If status is u2018Yellowu2019
     Successfully archived, but not yet deleted, or Archiving still running, or Delete in progress or
Delete Cancelled
If status is u2018Redu2019
Not yet archived, or Archiving cancelled
Standard Log (Spool List)
During archiving, a log is usually generated. This can be done during the write, delete, read, or reload phases. This is usually in the form of a standard log. In some cases, an application-specific log may be generated. Depending on the archiving action that was carried out, the standard log contains statistical information per archiving session or archive file according to the following categories:
Archiving session number
Number of data objects for processing
Archive session size in megabytes
Total header data in %
Table space in MB occupied for:
          Tables
          Indexes
Number of table entries processed
You can call the standard log from the screen Archive Administration: Overview of Archiving Sessions. Choose Spool List.
Accessing Archived Data
Data that was archived using SAP Data Archiving has been relocated from the database but not placed beyond the application. Data is still available for read access and analysis. In some cases, archived data can even be reloaded into the database.
Note:-
A prerequisite of read access and reload access, is that the file can be found in the file system.
Three types of access are possible:
(Read) access to a single data object, such as an accounting document
Direct access or single document access requires an index that can be built either during archiving or at a later point. A complex search of the documents stored in the archive files, in which all orders of an article in a particular batch are required for a product recall action, is not possible.
The Archive Information System (AS) supports direct access using archive information structures that can be generated automatically either when the archive files are being written, or at a later point.
Analysis of an archive file (sequential read)
It is possible to run an analysis for one or several archiving sessions. The results of the analyzed data objects are displayed in a list. Furthermore, some archiving objects offer the option of a combined analysis. With this option, you can link current data in the database and archived data.
Reloading into the database
Archived data does not usually need to be reloaded because it remains accessible by the applications. There is also a lot of data that cannot be reloaded or for which reloading is problematic. For this reason, reload programs do not exist for all archiving objects.
Archiving Session Overview
On this screen, you can display and edit management information on archiving sessions. One archiving session is equal to Write and Delete jobs. Within a status area, archiving sessions are, by default, organized in groups of 20. The sessions are ordered according to different status.
Interrupting and Continuing
In order that Data Archiving can be seemlessly integrated into the production system, you can interrupt an archiving session during the write phase and contine it at a later time. This enables you to react, during archiving, to specific time constraints or hard-disk space shortages. You can continue and complete interrupted archiving sessions when you have more time or more storage space.
To interrupt an archiving session:
The archiving object must be registered in transaction AOBJ as interruptible, otherwise the Archive Development Kit (ADK) is unable to inform the write program of the interruption request.
The write program must be able to process the interruption request.
The archiving session must be run in production mode (not test mode) and be in process.
The delete phase must be able to start before the write phase has finished (setting in transaction AOBJ).
To continue an archiving session:
The session must have been interrupted within the context of the interrupution concept. Archiving sessions that were interrupted for other reasons or that were terminated by archive management cannot be continued.
The delete phase must have completed for the data that was archivied up to the point of interruption, that is, the archiving session must have the status completed.
Database Action Before and After Archiving
Archiving uses application software that depends on and affects the organization of the database data. You should therefore organize the database before and after archiving.
Before Archiving
Archiving application data helps to prevent storage and performance bottlenecks. Since relocating data can, in some circumstances, in itself, impair performance u2013 this is the case if you need to access archived data u2013 you need to consider carefully what data to archive. To determine whether or not you should archive data, consider the following questions:
If there are memory problems, can more memory be assigned to the table?
How likely is it that you will need to access the archived data again? How often?
Is the data accessed using an optimal index?
Does the application perform a full table scan on the tables that contain the data to be archived?
After Archiving
Reorganize index: If data has been archived or simply deleted and the associated tables were accessed via an index, the index should be reorganized. Deleting table entries leaves holes in the table which are still indexed. Reorganization can shorten the access paths, reducing response times.
Update the database statistics: If your database uses a cost-based optimizer, you must choose Update Statistics to recalculate the access paths.
Reorganize tablespace or database space: Whether you should reorganize the tablespace depends on the reason for archiving.
Do you expect a lot of new data for the archived tables?
Do you want to make space for other tables?
Note:-
Reorganization takes a long time and may need to be repeated after archiving. Throughput during a reorganization:
     With export/import     :           approximately. 60-100 MByte/hour.
       With unload/load     :           approximately. 250-300 MByte/hour.
Perform an SQL Trace after reorganization.
Statistics
When writing, deleting, reading, or reloading, statistical data on each archiving run is automatically generated and is persistently stored in the database The data archiving administrators can analyze these figures so that they can better plan future archiving projects and request the necessary resources. Statistics also provided pertinent information on the role of data archiving in reducing the data volume in the database.
You can call this screen directly from the Archive Administration (SARA), or using the transaction SAR_DA_STAT_ANALYSIS. It displays the following information:
     Archiving Session Number
     Archiving Object Name
     Client ID on which the archiving session was carried out
     Date on which the archiving session was carried out
     Status of the session number
     Portion of the Header data in the archiving session
     DB Space (WRITE) u2013 Virtual storage space in MB, which is occupied by an incomplete archiving                          session in the database
     DB Storage Space (DELETE) - Virtual storage space in MB, which is occupied by an incomplete                               archiving session in the database
     DB Space (Reload) u2013 Virtual storage space in MB
     Written Data Objects in an incomplete archiving session
     Deleted Data Objects for an incomplete archiving session in database
     Reloaded Data Objects
     Number of delete jobs
     Write job duration
     Delete job duration
     Reload job duration
Logical Path and File
Archive files are stored in the file system under a physical path and file name that is derived from a user-definable logical path or file name. The definition can be divided into the following steps:
Definition of the logical path name
Definition of the logical file name
Assignment of the logical fine name for the archiving object
By default, the system uses the logical file name ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE and the logical path name ARCHIVE GLOBAL PATH as defaults. Consequently, the names only need to be changed if they have to be adjusted to meet special requirements.
Data Archiving Monitor
Use this indicator to activate or deactivate the data archiving monitor (transaction SAR_SHOW_MONITOR. If you mark this checkbox before data archiving, archiving-relevant information on the write and delete jobs is updated. This information can be analyzed using the data archiving monitor. If there are errors, alerts are issued.
The data archiving monitor offers the following information:
Overview of all the archiving objects that have been run
Detailed information on the individual archiving sessions
Processing status display
Help on analyzing open alerts

Help in Getting Archived Images Organized Before Import

I'm a LR beginner and need advice. I have about 3000 tiff and psd images - about 75Gb, archived on CD and DVD in pretty random order. They aren't on my hard drives. I've kept track of them through iView. Now I want to bring them into Lightroom and use it rather than iView for keeping track of them. I'm also coming to recognize that keeping them online on an external HD is probably a good thing also.
I'm thinking I should get an external HD (250Gb or so) and copy from CD/DVD back to that device. Then organize them into folders in some way that makes sense. Then once I've done that, import them into LR and tag them with keywords. Then split out further into collections.
Does this make sense? I'd appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
Thanks
Brad

Obviously you are going to get much better import performance if your images are on a HD rather than a CD/DVD.
You don't say if you're using Mac or PC, but if it's a Mac, you can do what I am doing. I had previously archived my images to CD and DVD. I use the Mac's Disk Utility program to create a copy of the disk image on the external HD. Then I mount that and have LR import from the disk image.
What this means is that I can use either the original CD/DVD or the external HD files. Once I mount the volume, LR will find the images (red folders come online). This way you have your backup automatically on CD or HD and if you are mobile, you can take either media with you. At home base all your images are on the HD, just a mount away.
If you do this, when creating the disk image in Disk Utility, make sure to choose the 'CD/DVD Master' setting (rather than compressed or other options) because they mount much faster.
Again, this is all the way Mac works, not something specific to LR. I don't know of a Windows equivalent, but there may be something out there.
This doesn't help you with reorganizing as part of your import process, but keywording and collections could do that regardless of the location of the files.

Need help on GTS archiving

Hi,
I am aware of the General archiving procedure in R/3, do we need to take any special care for GTS archiving?
Does any one can provide me some documents on archiving in GTS system.

Hi Ankit,
I have never done archiving in GTS system but got a useful documentation which can be helpful to you.

BOM Archive Helper (Tiger) v Archive Helper (Leopard) - what gives?

Drop a tar.gz on old Tiger BOM archive helper and it unpacked, compiled or whatever and left you with a disk image on your desktop where you could drag the app to your apps folder.
In Leopard all I seem to get with the "archive helper" is an unpacked folder - behaving more like unStuffit - with files still needing to be compiled.
I took tar.gz file across to Mac running Tiger and it unpacks as usual, so I realized there appears to be a difference between the old BOM Archive Helper and the Leopard "archive helper" --- they left something out it seems to me namely the compiling bit.
Anyone throw any light on this?

Hi, I think the problem is the crazy deal that once unzipped, it can have a completely unrelated Name & creation date, for those I move the ZIP file to a New Folder al it's own, unzip it there by double clicking, and the result should be in that folder.

Help needed on "Archiving in R/3 and its impact"

Hi All,
I will be pleased if Any one who can guide me or send me a document on "Archiving in R/3 and its impact"
Thanks in advance.

i don't remember such a document ...
some extractors like lo cockpit 11 and 13 can extract data from archive, but most of the extractors can't.
the workaround is, to reload the data from archive in a new r3 table and build an generic extractor on it. then you can load the data to bw. after that you can refresh the table.
i also heard of direct loading from archive, but i never tried.

Urgent Help: Test Zip Archive

Hi everybody, I'd like to know if there's a safe way to check if a compressed file (zip file) is a valid archive or not.
Sometimes WinZip tool says that the archive is not valid, there's a way to have the same answer by java code?
Can java makes the same valid archive test as WinZip tool?
Anybody has some code examples?
Thanks a lot!!!

java.util.zip.ZipFile's constructor should throw a ZipException if the zip is not valid. I dont know whether the checks are exactly the same as winzip.

Help with Mail Archive folder

I'm getting close to my iCloud limit and want to free up space by removing/archiving emails; but not sure excatly how the Archive folder works.
If I drag and drop (say) all of 2011's email into the Archive folder - does it remove them from the server, but still keeps them readable and searchable on my Mac?
I assume they won't be readable or searchable from my iPhone/iPad but I doubt I'll ever need to go back three years on my device.
Or is there a better/easier way to remove mails from the server but keep them on my Mac?
Thanks!
Andy

Yes, that might be a bit confusing. I have more than one iCloud account in use, hence I have more than one iCloud archive folder. However, these won't do the same thing as I described above, using these folders will just move mail from the inbox to an archive folder but it will still keep it in iCloud and therefore use up your space.

HELP - unable to archive Mail

I am using Mail 1.3.11. I have my IMAP account set up with a Rule to copy incoming email into a folder 'On my Mac'.
However when I look at this mail, all I see is a message in italics " The message from "(description)” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
I am unable to get the text of the message to display.
Any ideas how to cure this

Thanks Steven
Your post is spot on - some spring cleaning is required
I had already tried the 'rebuild' step - everything in the folder disappeared!
So I deleted the whole folder and started up a new one, which is working fine. The reason I started this copying Rule is that I was losing older messages from my Inbox. I believed this was due to the restriction on my space on the ISPs server, and I was extremely concerned as a year or so's worth of older messages had disppeared. But now I have deleted the 'archive' I was copying them into, they have miraculously reappeared and I am very happy!
Thanks again.
Suggestion to Apple: Fit a guage on Mail so you can see when the thing is overloaded!

Need help with frozen Archive and Install

I'm trying to run an archive and install for my intel iMac, OS 10.4.11. I get through the first disk fine, but after I put in the 2nd install disk, it gets all the way to the "finishing installation" and then won't move past "running GarageBand Demo Songs Installer Script". it says less than a minute remaining, and the downloading bar is swirling, but there is nothing happening and it hangs here for hours. I've tried restarting, but it will only ask me to load the 2nd disk again, and the same thing happens over and over. Apple even sent me a new install disk 2, and the same thing happened, so I know it's not the disk. Is there a way to push past this?
I did a disk utility repair and it said everything was fine.
WZZZ suggested a custom installation, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried I might lose the data on my hard drive. (Stupidly) none of it is backed up. Any advice? Do you think I'll lose my data if I force it start over with disk 1 and do a custom install?
If not, is that the best thing to do?

Hi there, WZZZ is one sharp guy, go for it, (known him since he was knee high to a Grasshopper!
Do you think I'll lose my data if I force it start over with disk 1 and do a custom install?
At worst we should maybe only have complications with several Previous System Folders, but after forcing shutdown reboot do what WZZZ pointed to...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
That second Disk thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

Archive and delete sap event management objects

Team, I need to configure the archiving objects and residence time to Archive and delete EM objects. there are three steps of configuration, and I have never done this before.
Can any one of you help me in setting up this config and the programs that need to run to archive and delete these objects.
I would really appreciate you help and quick response on this.
Define Archiving-Object-Specific Customizing
Define Residence Times for Archiving or Deleting
Define Settings for Deleting Document Flow
Thank you!!!

Hello Steffen,
I was told that it would be possible to display archived and deleted event handlers using BAPI /SAPTRX/BAPI_EH_GET_DATA_GEN. I tested it, but could not verify this statement. SAP Help reads:
"The archiving object /SAPTRX/A0 only supports a technical view in the Archive Explorer of the Archive Information System. This view is similar to the display in transaction SE16."
It would be great if you could help clarify this. Thank you!
Best regards,
Philiipp

I've installed Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but can't figure out how to use it. Help!

Isn't there anyone out there who can help me? What about Adobe Customer Service?

You can open Acrobat and select the key F1. That should open the help menu (it should be local on your hard drive). It is also the first item listed in the help menu. If you prefer, you can open the full manual in PDF form from http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/9/professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf. The manual is over 500 pages long and gives you a lot of information. There is a getting started section at the end of Chapter 1.
However, at this point it might be worth asking what your expectation is for AA 9, similar to Anoop's question. A lot of folks try to use Acrobat for things it is not designed to do, though it may do them, and they get disappointed. So expectations can be a big factor. A general statement might be that the primary purpose of Acrobat and associated software is to create PDF representations of documents from other applications that you can share with others (most folks can read PDF files anymore). After the creation, there are a number of tools that can be used to enhance the use of the PDF, including form fields, security (for what it is), and minor editing.
Hope this all helps.
