Using SAP Content Server as storage for archive files

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I would be glad to get opinions and experiences.

 

I see from the documentation of the SAP Content Server that it can be used as storage also for archive files. It is advised to have the content server installed with a database instead as a file system because it gives extra administration and security options.

 

  1. If I setup data archiving I assume that when the archiving file are send to the storage system - the file will no longer be in the file system where the write job saved the data. Will it then still be possible to get access to data like it is if the archiving file is still in the file system?
    E.g. when I choose to see a purchase order in ME23N i'm told that it will be retrieved from the archive and then viewed.


  2. I know, that the SAP Content Server does not support optical archiving - but if I'm satisfied with this and rely on the database administration and backup procedures for the Content Server - do you then see any concerns using SAP Content Server for data archiving?

    If no - do you know any companies using SAP Content Server for data archiving with success?

 

Thanks for all replies.

 

Claus.


Missing archiving objects and Info structures

$

Hi

 

I am a new starter in SAP ILM and enabled ILM in NW 740 ABAP only stack. We could not see all the archiving objects (for example FI_DOCUMNT)  that we normally see in an ERP system. Also the archiving infostructures related to the archiving objects are not available.

 

Has any one have worked on similar environment?

SAP ILM-Hadoop integration?

Hi,

I've heard on the grapevine that SAP will soon introduce support for integration between SAP ILM and Hadoop (with Hadoop acting as the ILM store).

 

Does anyone have any information on this? I've searched the usual places, but can't find anything.

 

Cheers,

CHANGEDOCU Archiving COND_A Document Review

$
0
0

Hello Experts,

 

We are starting an archiving project and have a requirement to archive change documents, we will be leveraging the archiving object CHANGEDOCU using the Archive Infostructure SAP_CHANGEDOCU1. We are successful in archiving objects MAT_FULL and COND_A. We are able to review the MAT_FULL change documents within the Archive Explorer and one is able to decipher the article number and the change that is occurring;  unfortunately for me it is not immediately apparent the best way to search through the thousands of archived records for COND_A records to find all of the records for a given Article/Material record should we have an auditing need of some sort.

 

This is what I know so far:

 

The object value being recorded for transaction code VK12 is the condition record number, I can take this number and go to table KONH and KONP field KNUMH and get the details around the change for example looking at VAKEY to get me the key details around the Sales Org Distribution Channel Article UoM etc. for the object being archived.

 

This is all well and good from a single record search prospective but not from a hundreds of thousands of records search prospective if we need to find relevant records for a given article/material number.

 

Does anyone have any direction around how to review the COND_A records in a more meaningful manner within the archive? Is there a transaction code that will allow us to search through each of the records and find the relevant few entries for the article/material required?

 

I appreciate any assistance or insight you might be able to provide.

 

Thank you,

Data Aging Implementation

Hi!

 

We are evaluating  Data Aging implementation to optimize our SoH memory usage, but some of the SAP tables we are planning to include in this process don't have Data Aging Object.

If we create our own Data Aging objects that might include SAP standard tables, what will happen if SAP delivers new objects?

Did anyone out there implemented such process?

Select archive objects from performance perspective

Hi,

 

Normally I have selected archiving objects from a database space perspective. But what if I want to select from a perspective, where the goal is to have a better system performance?

Is there any way I can find the objects which will give the best performance improvements?

And will it be possible to measure the - hopefully - better performance in a way?

 

Thanks,

Hi Experts,

 

I am working on SAP ILM and would like to configure ILM Store to use File systems as the storage. Went through the SP13 ILM Store configuration guide to set up the FS connection and test them using the report provided. But getting a dump message. Has anyone configured ILM Store for FS system connections?

RV_LIKP Delivery archiving aborted due to large change documents

$
0
0

When we implemented our manufacturing modules many years ago, we turned on auditing for many fields.

As a result, we have change documents that are very large.

So large, that they are causing the delivery archiving to abort due to memory.

When I tried to go into VL03N for the delivery in question, it also aborted when trying to display changes.

Has anyone else had this issue?

 

One workaround that I came up with is that we first PURGE all delivery change documents

before we archive the deliveries.  I just wanted to know what other alternatives that I have

and if anyone else had the same problem.

Determining Archiving Objects

$
0
0

Hi all,

 

I have identified some large tables within SAP, and I'm looking at archiving possibilities.

 

Checking transaction SARA > Database Tables > Archiving Objects > Objects for Table, some tables have a 1-1 relationship with an archiving object while others have many archiving objects available.

 

Take for example Table COEP, when entered this lists many archiving objects.

 

Is there a way to determine which is the most appropriate archiving object to use, to remove the most records within the table?

 

Any advice appreciated.

Many Thanks.

Archiving versus Deleting Application Logs (BC_SBAL)

$
0
0

Our application log is getting so large that it is causing performance problems.

I noticed that we have never archived or reorganized our application log.

 

I know that there are 2 options for managing the application log.

  1. Tcode SLG2 - Program SBAL_DELETE can be used to purge old or expired logs
  2. Archive object BC_SBAL can also be used to archive logs

 

Which option do you use at your company?

 

I tried testing the archive functionality in our QA test system and it was very slow.

It took over 7 hours to delete the following number of entries.


Type                               No.    Description

BALDAT                           293,908  Application Log: Log data

BALHDR                            61,254  Application log: log header

BAL_INDX                              13  Application Log: INDX tables

 

Has anyone else encountered such poor performance?

Archiving - (cross)Functional Dependencies

$

Hello Gurus,

 

    While considering for Archiving of an object how can we make sure that functional (including cross) dependencies are full filled?

 

    For example let's say I am Archiving Purchase Order data how can I make sure that relevant PO data in warehouse Module is good to be archived with no leaks? I know that DB15 gives all the tables/transaction codes that are cross connected across the functional areas.

 

    Any ideas? or document that I can refer too? further more is there a facility in SAP to see all the cross connected archiving data for example  I want to see the PO-> their relevant GR -> their relevant Invoices..etc...etc

 

Thanks ahead.

How to keep archiving data off line from SAP IS-U

Hi All,

 

I have a question, my client does not want to refer back archiving data from live system while performing operations.

How can we restrict? if we are disconnecting the archiving server then our web services are getting error messages.

Do we have to check for function modules which will not refer to archiving data.

If you have come across such scenarios could you please share your inputs.

We are using open text server as our archiving repository and we do it from SAP IS-U.

 

Thanks and regards,

Problem on archieving Material Master (con)

$
0
0

Dear Experts,

 

Further to the following Forum –

 

http://scn.sap.com/thread/3505830

 

I recently tested to archieve a Finished Good Material and found the following errors -

 

Error 1 –

MARC: 8200 planned order exists

Message no. W4008

Diagnosis

A planned order exists for the material. Procedure Delete the planned order. You can then archive the material.

 

Error 2 –

MARC: 8200 assignments (product group/planning) exist

Message no. W4024

Procedure

Delete the assignment of the material to the product group. You can then archive the material.

 

Error 3 –

MBEW: 8200 plant is assigned to the valuation area

Message no. W4031

Diagnosis

The material cannot be archived for this valuation area since the material is still used in dependent tables.

Procedure

Delete these dependencies. You can then archive the material for the valuation area.

 

Error 4 –

MARC: 8200 internal use of the material

Message no. W4107

Diagnosis

The material is still being used internally by another material.

Possible ways in which the material is being used:

As a pricing reference material

As a configurable material

As a follow-up material

As a manufacturer part number

The material may be in use both at material level and at plant level.

 

Error 5 –

MARA:  Dependent material master data still exists

Message no. W4134

 

For the Error 1, the above Forum had advised to check table PLAF and then found some Planned Orders for the Material in there. Would like to ask –

 

Q1) Why the Planned Orders could not be found in some transactions such as MD04 / MD16 (collective display planned orders) but could only be found in the table PLAF ?

 

For your ref., the following error was found when inputting those Planned Orders in MD14 (convert planned order to PR) –

 

Simulation planned orders cannot be converted

Message no. MD132

Diagnosis

The planned order selected is a simulative planned order from long-term planning. In long-term planning, the system only creates planned orders. These planned orders are not converted into either production orders or purchase requisitions. System Response Planned orders that are created in long-term planning cannot be converted. They are used to check the effects of the simulative demand program on production and procurement. Thus, a preview is availble of the planned demand program. The planned orders are changed or replanned in the operative planning run.

 

Q2) After deleting the Planned Orders found in the table PLAF using MD12 and then tested to archieve again, the above Error 1 was not found, but the rest of 4 Errors were still found. According to the above Forum (msg on 2014-2-27 7:52), the Error 5 (Message no. W4134) is a warning and will be fixed AFTER the other Errors have been fixed. Is it correct ?

 

Q3) Anyway, could you advise how to solve the above Errors 2-5 ?

 

Ref. SAP Note 900537 –

 

For Error 3 (W4031) - Plant is assigned to the valuation area:

The material cannot be archived for this valuation area since the material is still used in dependent tables. Delete these dependencies. You can then archive the material for the valuation area. This message is created when the MARC entry for valuation area has a check error, but there is no check error for the assigned MBEW entry.

Actually no exact solution on the above info. ?

 

For Error 4 (W4107) - Internal use of the material:

First, error message W4107 indicates that the material is used as an internal material for another material. Go to table MARA for this material and check fields BMATN and MFRPN.

Please call the function 'MG_BEZUG_MARA_CHECK' with the material and it should give you back a flag, if article is used or not

Also it can be possible that the material is used in table fields

MARA-PMATA

MARA-PMATN

MARC-NFMAT

MARC-STDPD

MARA-BMATN

MVKE-PMATN

Does it mean that we have to write program to call function 'MG_BEZUG_MARA_CHECK' to fix this error ?

 

For Error 5 (W4134) - Dependent material master data still exists:

Please refer note 561972. Also delete the routings / BOMs / PO for these Materials.

For the note 561972, does it mean that we have to apply Correction “SAP_APPL” ? If so, which Correction no. is suitable for ERP 2005 ? If the above Q2 is correct, is it still required to apply this Correction ?

 

Looking forward to hearing from your reply.

 

Many Thanks,

KH Fong
