Erp archiver archive#

The archive preprocessing and write jobs have a new option of “Check Valid-To Date”. If this new option is not selected, the residence time check is carried out against the last change date of the purchase order instead. The new version of the preprocessing and write job programs provide an additional option of “Residence Time Check Creation Date”. I did have to manually change the Preprocessing program to reflect the new program name per OSS Note 1646578.

I noticed that this archive object has new write, delete and preprocessing programs: New Functionality for Current Archive Objects I added those segments and the archive write job then completed successfully.

I found that it was missing 3 segments in the EhP 6 system. I compared the MM_EINA archive object structure definition within transaction AOBL from the EhP 6 system with one in a system that had not been upgraded yet. The archive write job/program also failed for MM_EINA with “Archiving object or class MM_EINA does not contain structure OICQ4”. This was resolved by following the instructions in OSS Note 945459 (the note states that it is for SRM, but, SAP verified that it could also be followed to fix this ERP issue). The archive write job/program failed for SD_VBAK, MM_EKKO and MM_EBAN. This was easliy resolved by recreating them via SARA/Customizing Settings. For examples, archive job variants were missing for MM_EBAN, MM_EKKO and MM_EINA. Multiple changes/fixes were needed in order to even begin testing data archiving. In past tests (upgrades, previous enhancement packs, OSS Notes, etc.) I have found configuration related issues with archive objects that have been touched by IS Oil. This information will be grouped by Configuration Issues, New Functionality for Current Archive Objects, New Archive Objects, and Updated Documentation. I am currently testing SAP data archiving in ERP EhP 6 SP 3 and have found some issues as well as noticed several changes (from ERP 60 EhP 3) that I want to share with the SAP Community.
