Custom Archiving Object: cluster tables

[patricia_roln]

Hello All,

I need to create a custom archiving object to archive the content of a cluster table. Does anyone know how to do this? Would you provide me with the steps to do so?

Thank you in advance!

Solution

As of R/3 Release 3.0, the ADK is also delivered to customers as a development tool for archiving programs. The ADK (Archive Development Kit) consists of function modules that help you to develop your own archiving solutions, as well as documentation on how to use the function modules.

As of Release 3.0, all existing archiving from SAP applications is moved to the ADK.

If you want to enhance an existing solution, you can do this with the help of the ADK. However, your own solutions may NOT delete or modify data from SAP standard tables.

Archiving classes are developed by SAP exclusively and must not be used alone but only in connection with an archiving object.

Archiving objects and archiving classes (and the objects belonging to the class) are not namespace-capable. A namespace as prefix may lead to errors in this case and must therefore not be used.

For more information on the ADK documentation please see Note 71930.
