TCODE : SARA

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

T-Code Sara is used forArchiving objects in Table BALHDR. Only those objects are archived whose expiration date has reahed. But the Expiry date of most of the objects is 12-31-9999. As a result, the log data keeps on increasing.

So, is there any way by which I can Archive the objects before their expiration date. Or is their any way to change the expiration date of the object in Table BALHDR.

Please help.

Please see note [195157|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=195157]

Do not attempt to archive/delete that table's contents directly. Rather you should use archiving object BC_SBAL in conjunction with tcodes SARI and SARA. But this may be a business decision (Iif not upper IT decision) that must be made first in regards to removing application logs.
