PTDW_TIMES_DB is a table only used to move working time data (mainly from ECC to the BW / BI systems) using extractors 0HR_PT_1, 0HR_PT_2 and 0HR_PT_3 . This data is originally from the time and payroll tables. You could keep the data in PTDW_TIMES_DB on ECC if you need to redo one extraction process (avoiding the time of repopulating the table), but you could also drop the data each time and repopulate the table by re executing them. To drop the data, you could just use the database utilities of SE11. In ECC, transaction RSA3 will enable you to test these extraction processes. Please, check with your BW / BI expert to anticipate the impact of dropping the data.

PTDW_TIMES_DB will not be archived, but the data in CATS and PCL2 via the archiving objects CATS_DATA, PA_CALC and PA_TIME. You use transaction SARA to archive CATS_DATA and PU22 to archive PCL2.
