Opentext Data archiving for SAP® Solutions

Keep a grip on your TCO by archiving data with standard SAP data archiving and OpenText Data Archiving for SAP® Solutions. Archiving minimizes your database growth and improves system performance. Data is securely stored with OpenText Archive Server. When your users need the data, it’s conveniently available directly from the SAP user interface.

In addition to standard SAP data archiving, business content can also be stored as data extracts, reports, and print lists. These allow companies to generate summary reports with data from different transactions and applications and can be converted to formats that are viewable independent of the SAP system. They can range from several megabytes to gigabytes and can be archived at several intervals, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly. The Archive Server and Imaging Viewer compo-nents of Data Archiving for SAP Solutions optimize access, search, and retrieval of data extracts, reports, and print lists.

With the addition of Document Access for SAP Solutions, you can display the archived data right alongside the online data from the SAP database. You can access online and offline data together in user-friendly folder views within the right business context, allowing you to proac-tively archive your data and ensure contin-uous high performance and lower TCO for your SAP system.

Cost savings due to more efficient resource useSAP data archiving safely and easily removes application data from the data-base that is no longer required in day-to-day business, while still providing access to the archived data for SAP users. The data is removed from expensive tier one storage and securely stored with OpenText Archive Server. At the same time the data is compressed to only about 20% of the original size. As the database typically runs on mirrored disks and the data volume

Every business transaction generates data. As a result, your SAP® database is always growing, eventually reaching its limit. When users are unable to work

effectively, orders are no longer processed promptly, invoices are delayed, and customers have to wait for assistance. As your database grows, administration efforts go up, backups and recoveries take longer; system upgrades require more time and resources; and user response times become prohibitive. Adding additional hardware drives up the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your SAP system.

multiplies by the number of system copies, the overall reduction of data volume can be well over 90%.

The result is a slimmer database that you can manage efficiently over the long-term.

By removing old data from the SAP data-base, you control the long-term volume of the database. This means that resources such as disk storage or CPUs are used efficiently. Administration work is reduced, which has a positive impact on overall IT costs.

increased system availabilityLess data means less system downtime, as the time required for software upgrades, data backups and recovery, and database

reorganization is also reduced. It also ensures greater user satisfaction for your SAP system users by enabling faster system response times. And you can archive data in an online mode, meaning that you do not have to shut down the system.

future-proof investment in compliant, long-term storageSAP data archiving standards guarantee that archived data files are independent of hardware and software release levels. Archived data can still be retrieved even after you upgrade. Your own custom data-base tables can also be included in the data archiving process.

The unique value that Data Archiving for SAP Solutions provides is security for your data files stored on OpenText Archive Server; compliant with legal regulations for long-term archiving of business data.

Archive Server supports all leading storage vendors with secure platforms and acts as virtualization layer on top, which increases flexibility in storage management by using your choice and combination of storage hardware. Typically, the lifetime of business data exceeds the lifetime of storage hard-ware. Compatibility with all major storage providers and built-in migration tools ensures that companies can seamlessly transfer content to alternate storage media in the future.

And when you decide to benefit from OpenText Archiving for SAP® Solutions and OpenText Document Access for SAP® Solutions as well, you can use the very same archiving infrastructure for archiving outgoing or incoming documents, office documents, and emails, and even integrate data and documents from legacy systems into the SAP system as well.

Low tCO through seamless integration Data Archiving for SAP Solutions is fully integrated with SAP applications. It is based on SAP NetWeaver® technology and uses the SAP ArchiveLink™ interface to store archived data and print lists. Data Archiving for SAP Solutions is certified by SAP for “Integration with SAP NetWeaver” with the SAP ArchiveLink and SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) interface certification. n
