Hi,
I've tried to find information about near-line archiving. I've found plenty of articles that provide overview of SAP BW data archiving and step-by-step guides that explain how to configure BW but not a single document about the near-line storage systems themselves. Are they filesystems? Are they databases? Are they some kind of software that operate on top of another DBMS? What is the easiest way of setting up a simple near-line storage for testing purposes?
All kinds of help is appreciated, but please don't paste any links to SAP netweaver help.
Regards,
Ran-Dom
