Product 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars answers all the archiving questions, June 17, 2004

By	"blperroni" (BC) - See all my reviews

It seems like so few people really understand this topic. I have been at a couple organizations that did not at all know what they were doing in terms of data archiving. This problem only gets worse over time... I found this book when it came out last year and I think anyone who needs to deal with archiving in SAP needs to read it. There are lots of easy steps that you can use right away. good luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, September 16, 2005

By	Prasad K. Vepa "Prasad Vepa" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though the initial chapters are bit redundant in data and little boring, if one can read the entire book with patience surely they will gain good intro and starting knowledge in Archiving.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, June 2, 2008

By	Dorothee Thielisch (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book goes into too many details, but doesn't answer the simple question of: what parameters do I enter into the SARA transaction? What sequence do I apply to archive properly? Can archiving be used to carve out company data in a divestiture situation?
