1. Analysis

R/3 Database Analysis

Off-site analysis

Kick-off meeting

Propose Archive Objects to process

R/3 Database growth simulation

Tables outside archive object scope

Archive Object review


23/26

Design and Conception:

Goals of the design phase

Develop an concrete archiving concept for creating and managing archive files

Create an implementation plan

Create a long term archiving plan

Analysis from a business point of view:

Process analysis as prerequisite for determining the residence times

Define the dependencies between the archiving objects, based ondocumentation AND process analysis

Define the read-access requirements from the business viewpoint.


24/26

Test Phase

Archiving under realistic test conditions, datasets should be as similar

possible to the production system.

Create user process description for access to archived data

Train the end users


25/26

Implementation GO-LIVE

Execute data archiving in production system

- Transports/Customizing

- Agreement from system administrators and user

- Job Monitoring

Communicate results of production archiving to user departments

Post processing

- Table space reorganization where required

- Index reorganization

- Update the database statistics

- Backup archive files

- Check data objects, which could not be archived
