Archiving same data more than once due to overlapping variant values

954 Views

Hi all,

i had accidently run 2 archiving jobs on the same data. For instance, job 1 was archiving for company code IN ( where the company code was from IN00 till ZZ00), which was the unwanted job. The second archive job archived data from IN99 till INZZ ( not the whole IN company code ).

These 2 jobs failed due to log fulll ( the data was too huge to be archived), however when i expand the jobs in the failed SARA session, the archive files has up to 100 MB size.

Below are some of the problems which will incur if we archive the same data more than once ( which i found from my online search )

- some archiving objects require that data only exists once in the archive therefore duplicate data can lead to erroneous results in the totals of archived data

- Archiving the data again will affect checksum. Checksum normally conducted before and after archiving process and its purpose is to validate whether the same file contents exist in the newly created archive files as compare the original data.

Could anyone advice me on how to overcome this multiple archiving on the same data issue. Apart from above stated impact, what are the other problems of multiple archiving on same data?

The failed archived sessions are currently in "Incomplete Archiving Session" and in 1 week time they will be deleted by archive delete jobs and will be moved to "Completed Archive Session". I highly appreciate if anyone could help
