The archiving functionality is required to reduce the high volume of database tables. The data archiving will remove data which is no longer need in the system but which must still be available for reporting. In FI-CA the Data Archiving with Archive Development Kit (ADK) is used.
Archiving Objects
Archiving objects describe the structure and context of the data to be archived. Predefined archiving objects are available for the applications for which data is to be archived. In data archiving, the system writes the data to archive files according to the relevant archiving objects and stores these.
Data archiving takes place in individual steps to ensure that only successfully archived data can be deleted. These are the three main steps:
-
Writing the data to be archived to a new archive file
-
Storing the archive files in an external store (optional)
-
Deleting the archived data from the database starting from the archived files you have created
The following illustration describes the data archiving procedure.
