Hi.....
Reloading archived data should be an exception rather than the general case, since data should be
archived only if it is not needed in the database anymore. When the archived data target is serving also as a
datamart to populate other data targets, Its recommend that you load the data to a copy of the original
(archived) data target, and combine the two resulting data targets with a MultiProvider.
In order to reload the data to a data target, you have to use the export DataSource of the archived data
target. Therefore, you create an update rule based on the respective InfoSource (technical name 8<data
target name>). You then trigger the upload either by using ‘Update ODS data in data target’ or by
replicating the DataSources of the MYSELF source system and subsequently scheduling an InfoPackage
for the respective InfoSource
If you want to read the data for reporting or
control purposes, you have to write a report, which reads data from the archive files sequentially.
Alternatively, you can also use the Archiving Information System (AS). This tool enables you to define an
InfoStructure, and create reports based on these InfoStructures. The InfoStructures define an index for
the archive file data. At the moment, the archiving process in the BW system does not fill the
InfoStructures during the archiving session automatically. This has to be performed manually when
needed.
Another way of displaying data from the archive file is by using the ‘Extractor checker’ (TCODE RSA3).
Enter the name of the export DataSource of the respective data target (name of the data target preceded
by ‘8’), and choose the archive files that are to be read. The extractor checker reads the selected archive
files sequentially. Selection conditions can be entered for filtering but have to be entered in in internal
format
It will remain same in the change log table.
