SAP Process Orchestration is a single, integrated solution for building and running end-to-end business processes across both SAP and non-SAP environments.
In SAP Business Process Management, Process Instances that have been completed and not required by businesses for any audit purposes should be deleted from time to time.
The frequency of this archiving procedure varies from business to business based on a few factors.
What can you expect when process instances are archived?
The process instances marked for archiving will be removed from the BPM database and archived to a location as configured by the administrator. Corresponding entries will be created in the DAS tables for the archived instances.
As expected, Process Archiving improves the overall performance of the system. It keeps the database compact with fewer process instances.
SAP Process Orchestration uses the SAP NetWeaver XML DAS framework for archiving. Additional information can be found here.
SAP recommends that you follow these guidelines to facilitate the maintenance of the archives over a period of time.
By following the above guidelines, it is extremely simple to perform housekeeping activities on the archives.
The deletion of the archived instances can be accomplished easily via the Java Archiving Cockpit.
If you want to delete the archived instances from a particular fiscal year for example, you could follow these simple steps:
This keeps the archives from growing to a few gigabytes. Businesses might prefer to store a couple of years’ worth of archived content for audit purposes. You may also want to adhere the audit guidelines of your business accordingly. Other archived content can be deleted in this manner, provided you organized the collections in an orderly manner before starting the archiving process.
