Content Inside:
Many companiesare experiencing rapid growth oftheir SAP®production data. This
growth can resultin: a breakdown in system performance; unnecessarilylong and
error-prone backup and recoverywindows; storage thatisnotutilized optimally;
retention management that ishindered; and more difficultversion upgrades.
SAP providesa comprehensive setoftoolsfor data archiving called the Archive
Development Kit (ADK). These toolsallow archived transactionsto be filtered from the
SAP system, compressed, stored offline in an ADKfile, and then deleted from the online
system. When these transactionsare needed, however, theymustbe reloaded and
re-indexedinto the online system—a tediousand error-prone processthatisusually
onlyundertaken ifthere isa compelling businessjustification (for example, an audit,
litigation, contractdispute, and others).

usersobjectto the removaloftheir older, historicaltransactions. Theybelieve theymay
need them atsome time in the future for the reasonsstated above.
