SAP Archiving – Important Customizing for Archiving Object FI_DOCUMNT
Friends, some time ago I discussed SAP Archiving Procedure wherein one question remained unanswered regarding whether is it mandatory to perform Delete phase and then Storage. Is it possible to perform Storage first and then Delete phase?
I am taking this opportunity to explain in brief the answer of above question and some other customizing settings of archiving object FI_DOCUMNT.
You can navigate to customizing settings of archiving object FI_DOCUMNT(any archiving object) by following below steps :
1) Transaction AOBJ.
2) Search for archiving object FI_DOCUMNT and double click on it.
3) Select ‘Customizing settings’ from the options on left hand side of the screen.
Following is the screen shot of customizing setting for FI_DOCUMNT.
Sequence
Delete Before Storing : With this setting, delete phase is performed before an archive file is stored in storage system.
Store before deleting : With this setting, first the archive file is stored in connected storage system and then delete program deleted data from database. For this, deleted program have to read archive file from storage system therefore flag ‘Delete Program Reads from Storage System’ must be selected.
Archive File Size
Maximum Size in MB and Maximum Number of Data Objects
These options pertains to archive write program. The write program reads data from database and write the same in archive file till one of these conditions is satisfied i.e either size of archive file reaches 25 MB or the number of data objects reaches 30000.
Settings for Delete Program
As the name suggest, these settings pertains to delete program
Commit counter : This defines the number of data objects which delete program deletes in one single shot i.e delete program deletes data objects in the packages of 10 in current settings.
Test mode variant : This is default variant for running delete program/phase in test mode.
Production mode variant : This is default variant for running delete program/phase in production mode.
Delete Jobs
Not Scheduled : You have to run delete program/phase manually.
Start automatically : The delete program/phase will start automatically as soon as the write phase is finished.
After event : You can set delete program/phase to run as soon as a particular even is triggered.
Settings for Post processing program
Production mode variant : This is default variant for running post processing program/phase in production mode.
Start Automatically : Post processing program will start automatically as soon as delete phase completes.
Place file in Storage System
Automatically : If this flag is checked then the created archive file will be stored automatically in the connected storage system defined by Content Repository.
That’s it for now friends.
