Archiving Your SAP Data
Description
This book provides you with valuable information for implementing and carrying out data archiving in an SAP system. It examines the fundamental technologies in detail, and highlights the concrete processes in data archiving-from archivability checks to the archiving process, and from storing created archive files to displaying archived data. This book focuses on data archiving in the SAP R/3 system, although it also deals with more recent archiving concepts for mySAP CRM and SAP BW. The final chapter gives a practical step-by-step description of the standardized phases of planning and processing an archiving project.
The book is geared towards system and database administrators, as well as project team members implementing data archiving as part of an SAP customer project.
