Due to the continuous growth of data, on the one hand, more storage space is required to store this data. On the other hand, system performance continues to decline. At the same time, it also directly affects all aspects of business operations such as ordering, production, delivery, and accounting processing. As a result, operational efficiency decreases, security decreases, maintenance becomes more difficult, maintenance time increases, and maintenance costs increase. As business continues to grow in the future, the huge amount of data will increasingly constrain the entire information system process. key factors.

In order to solve the archiving problem, the SAP system provides the standard data archiving function ADK (Archiving Development Kit), which archives the technical data, business data, and master data in the system from the system according to certain rules and stores them in In the file server (File System). At the same time, the corresponding archived data is deleted from the database to release the storage space occupied by the deleted data, thereby reducing the amount of online data in the system.

Through the implementation of the data archiving project, the database space can reach a stable state. Business processes determine the direction of data flow, and data flow determines the correlation between data tables. Different business processes have different data correlations between data tables, so a successful data archiving project requires a lot of analysis work. Finish.

• Performance Optimization: Improve the SAP system response time and ensure good response time and stability through data archiving, so that the running time of standard and customized reports is guaranteed to be in good condition, and the overall user system application experience is improved;

• Performance improvement: Reduce database growth rate, shorten backup time, reduce database management load, and reduce downtime when installing a new version;

• Cost-effective: Reduce management costs and investment in hard disk storage, thereby reducing overall costs;

• Data assurance: The data archived by the SAP system meets the needs of auditing and business query analysis, ensuring the security of archived data and effective query.

What is SAP data archiving


Why SAP Data Archiving
An archiving solution is very important for SAP production systems. If the growing data is not archived, the response time of the production system will become longer. Increasing hard disk space can solve the data storage problem, but it cannot solve the performance problem. Therefore, the best way to improve system efficiency is to archive data that is not currently in use.


The amount of data in the SAP system continues to grow rapidly, resulting in:
1. Users complain that the SAP system is slow and the system response time is getting longer and longer.
2. The system backup time is too long and there is not enough downtime to complete the offline backup.
3. In order to ensure the performance of the system, customers invest a large amount of money to purchase hosts and storage hardware.
4. After a system failure occurs, it takes too long to restore the system. During this period, SAP is unable to provide system services, causing huge losses to customers.
5. Due to excessive data volume, system downtime caused by system upgrades is extended.
