Workflow logs - Delete or Archive?

[Former Member]

Hello

The tables SWW_*, SWWWIHEAD, SWWLOGHIST, SWPNODELOG, SWPSTEPLOG are growing rapidly in our system, totalling over 100 GB. We are considering archiving/deleting old work items, i.e. older than three months that are in status completed.

What are the risks in terms of data integrity / auditability when deleting these logs, in other words, do we have to archive the old work items or can we simply dleete them?

Thanks

Hi Wilhelm,

It is generally recommended to archive workitems than to delete.

Refer Note 573656.

Thanks,
