Issue in Archive Deletion

Hi All,
We have performed archiving in Production system for one DSO in multiple sessions. Multiple files were created for an entire year of data which has been archived.
The status of the archive sessions are showing as ''Write Complete''
Now the issue is whenever we try to execute the deletion program we are not able to select the individual session. I know that once you complete the write activity you can select a session to perform the deletion from the active table of the DSO. This deletion job is similar to the selective deletion which we perform normally.
Our problem is that we are not able to select any of the sessions (the checkbox is not visible ). Has anyone faced any similar kind of issue before.
Please let us know you thoughts...

check if below is useful.

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 Complete, but delete job not scheduled. Issue with Archives now

As someone tried at work to schedule archive/delete process, we are finding issues now.
We have job scheduled for Archive but not delete. The job is archiving the messages, Meanwhile because of the growing disk space, folks deleted the archive files.
Now Archive is Complete, but with out Deletion.
So how do we start from scratch again
Also if I understood correctly after deleting the infostructure the session goes into error/red light since we can no longer build the related data from the archives due to the missing infostructures right?

Dear friend of XI,
I fully understand the issue; sure you cannot use RSXMB_DELETE_ARCHIVED_MESSAGES as the archive files have been deleted.
Tha paradigma of archving is that once the write phase is complete the deletion phse must complete at any rate. As this is impossible for the deleted archive files there is no way in the standard to erase the incomplete archive runs from management overview in SARA. In case you would like to clear the entries in SARA please open an OSS message such that SAP can take a look into the affected system and evaluate an individual solution for you.
irrespective of whether you clear the management entries in SARA you can simply run another archive session. Please note that the interfaces action (field ITFACTION) reflects the action to be taken for an indivirual message. It does not depict a state, in particular it does not mean that the message has been archived already. The interface action is determined right when the mesage enters the Integration Server. Contrary, the information on whether the message has been archived alteady (or still needs to) is stored in a different statuis field.

RSEXARCD: Idoc archiving deletion program issues

Hi,
I have two queries:
1. The Idoc archive deletion program, RSEXARCD, when executed in background, terminates when there are no archive files to process (as seen in SARA). How can we prevent this? Our deletion jobs are scheduled weekly, but sometimes there are no archive files created from the archive write program RSEXARCA.
2. Secondly, how can we process multiple archive files using this program RSEXARCD in background? Currently, it processes only one archive file at a time and takes up the oldest unprocessed archive file. Also, would like to know how it gets this information of the oldest unprocessed archive file?
Thanks.

if a program terminates, then you should look into the dump to see the root cause and follow the instructions. e.g. search for OSS notes with the metioned terms
I just searched with the terms "archiving idocs termination" and found 12 notes with program fixes.
Further, the program names you mentioned are not the most recent programs.
Have a look into OSS note Note 582828 - IDoc archiving: Standardization
maybe you will not have your problems anymore if you use the new programs

Issue while archiving the processed file in sender communication channel using SFTP adapter

Hi All,
In one of my scenario (File to IDOC), we are using SFTP sender communicationchannel.
we are facing an issue while archiving the processed file. Some times PI processed the file successfully but unable to archive it and in the next poll PI process & archives the same file successfully which will creates duplicate orders in ECC.
Please let us know how to resolve this issue.

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. What can I do?

I am using an early 2008 MacBook Pro and am having issues with it deleting text on its own (in word, emails, etc.). As I am typing it all of a sudden starts deleting and I can't stop it. This happened once before and it was due to a buldging battery pressing on the track pad. I checked the battery and it appears to be fine. What can I do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

PI 7.1 Archiving - Delete

hi Team,
We have PI 7.1 production environment and planning to implement ARCHIVING & DELETE for Integration Engine, Adapter Engine and Business Process Engine based messages.
I had referred to 'How to arhive & delete' doc that highly available in SDN but few question after going through the doc.
1. If a interface flagged for ARCHIVING then all messages in complete message status gets automatically Archived
2. And if interface not flagged for ARCHIVING then all messages of those interfaces gets automatically Deleted
Ofcourse on these both the cases, the corresponding action takes place only provided the retention period candition meets.
1. But Wondering, How about the messages that NOT successfully processed? Somewhere in SDN i red the NOT completetly proccessed messages require to be first 'Cancelled' and then they get marked for ARCH so that it gets archived! So in this case, both 'Synchronous" and "Asynchronous" not completely proccessed messages have to be marked for 'Cancel' before they get Archived?
2. Keeping this aside how the not completely processed archving, Why we need to archive the messages that are not completely proccessed in PRODUCTION environment?
3. In regards to 'NOT Completely processed' messages, I agree to certain extend that "All these have to be removed" from Database so that we gain disk space that helps improve the performance also? Please share your knowledge.
4. Either Archiving or Delete mechanism has any dependance or functional variations on Synchronous and Asysnchronous?
I highly appriciate all those add their knowledge here to clarify
Regards
Sekhar

Dear Sekhar,
let me go through your questions step by step...
1. But Wondering, How about the messages that NOT successfully processed? Somewhere in SDN i red the NOT completetly proccessed messages require to be first 'Cancelled' and then they get marked for ARCH so that it gets archived! So in this case, both 'Synchronous" and "Asynchronous" not completely proccessed messages have to be marked for 'Cancel' before they get Archived?
This is almost correct. Canceling is required for asynchonous messages in error state only. By canceling a message its state changes from error to final and this it is allowed to be archived. In contrast synchronous messages are final right when processing fails.
Please note: archiving applies to asynchronous messages only. It is a general decision by SAP to not archive synchronous messages.
2. Keeping this aside how the not completely processed archving, Why we need to archive the messages that are not completely proccessed in PRODUCTION environment?
Once an asynchronous message enters the central Intergation Server(IS) or the local Integration Engine(IE) XI/PI takes over responsibility for this message. Canceling a message means a serious violation of the EO/EOIO protocol. This violation needs to be documented in productive environments for the purpose of tracebility.
3. In regards to 'NOT Completely processed' messages, I agree to certain extend that "All these have to be removed" from Database so that we gain disk space that helps improve the performance also? Please share your knowledge.
I am not quite sure that I got the point. For each message entering the IS/IE SAP has to provide a guided procedure to reorganize this message. For successfully processed messages this is done by standard house-keeping jobs for archivng and deletion. For messages in error state there are basically two ooptions:
(1) restert message after error has been fixed;
- if message processing is sucessful this time, we are back to normal
- if message processing fails again, we are in the very same siutation as before
(2) cancel messages; this males the message 'final' and then it is treated like sucessfully processed messages.
Thus, this is all about defining an end point in the lifecycle of each message.

Message archiving/deletion in PI 7.1

Hi All,
I'm new to SAP PI. We have newly implemented PI 7.1 in our landscape. We have installed PI in HP UX 23 with oracle as the database.
We have configured the messge archival/deletion in our PI production server. We have allocated a dedicated file system to store the archived messages. Eventhough we have maintained the path of the archival_interface, no messages are archived in this drectory.
We are using synchronous interfaces and while executing the report ( RSXMB_SHOW_REORG_STATUS ) as per the note 872388, the report says that there are more than 1700 messages to be archived. But no messages are getting archived in the path mention as of now.
I think we have missed out some steps while configuring the archiving process. Can somebody help me with the steps involved in PI integration engine message archival/deletion.
Your timely help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Varadhu

Hi,
Go to transaction "SXMB_ADM" on the ABAP stack of your XI installation. Go to "Integration Engine Configuration" and click on tab "Specific configuration". Check if you have the parameter "LOGGING_SYNC" enabled (It should have a value 1). In case it is not present, please create this entry and have the default value as "1". This will enable you to view all sync messages on sxmb_moni.
Thanks,
Sidhartha

Archival/Deletion of messages in XI 3.0 SP23

Dear All,
We need to carry out a data deletion/purging activity at our XI box, where no archival/deletion policy has been incorporated ever. As a preparatory measure, I need to have some guidelines for the activities as under,
1. While defining an Archival policy, is there any recomendation from SAP or others that message archival exercise has to be carried out first, before proceeding with message deletion? To be more precise, can we directly delete/purge the messages without archiving them? What will be the impact of such an exercise on the XI system?
This point may sound confusing but the reality is that we do not have enough H/W to carry out an activity of Archival and Deletion.
2. What is the SAP recomendation/best practice in this regard?
3. Although we are defining the Archival/Deletion policy now, we need to purge data that is 3 years old and we do not require them any more. What would be the best practice to carryout this activity?
Thanks and regards,
Sugata Basu

Hi Sugatada,
is there any recomendation from SAP or others that message archival exercise has to be carried out first, before proceeding with message deletion?
No as per my knowledge..
can we directly delete/purge the messages without archiving them? What will be the impact of such an exercise on the XI system?
This wholly depends on requirement...if the data is too old...you can directly delete it..no need to archieve..
What is the SAP recomendation/best practice in this regard?
you can set these values which close to best practice...
Retention period for both synch and asynch
msgs without error awaiting deletion : 180 days
msgs without error awaiting archieving : 45 days
retention period for history entris for deleted msgs : 30 days
in XI we have 2 types of action:
(1) deletion of XML messages (without prior archiving)
(2) archiving of XML messages with subsequent deletion
SAP_BC_XMB_DELETE* for type (1)
SAP_BC_XMB_ARCHIVE* for type (2)

Hi Rajesh,
I think SAP help says that the period for which you are planning to delete or archive data may have to be locked.
Check the following links:

Issue with Archiving printlist

Hello,
On one of our Production system, we have an issue for archiving printlist.
We are using option Print immediatly, Print only on a specific output linked archive process with a specific doc. type.
We ahave checked as well the content repository which seems correctly configures.
We are using opentext solution successfully on others systems to do the same and customizing seems equivalent on both systems, and we are not able to find the reason why it is not working.
Spool is considered as " Transferred by Command to the Host Spool" but not completed and we have nothing on dedicated archived directory.
Did anyone already faced to that message ?
best regards
P. alexandre

The result is identical, I got two lines in SP02 :
One for archiving with same status and message and another one status"completed" because it has been printed
I imagine that the message "transferrred by command to the hist spool" is corresponding to a missing customizing to go on further...
EDIT
The archived printlist is generated on the shared directory but not visible as archived file. A link seems to miss between SAP and Opentext server : the issue is more on opentext side....
