Title
Checking the Archiving Customizing Settings

Purpose
This report examines the Customizing settings for archiving. Both theglobal settings and the archiving object-specific settings are checked.This enables the user to check the archiving Customizing settings foraccuracy and completeness, once the IMG activities have been carried outin full.

Integration
In addition to checking for completeness, the system checks all theCustomizing entries maintained with regard to content. The same functionmodules are used for this as run for the plausibility check of the userentries during the manual maintenance of the Customizing settings. Forthe global Customizing settings, this involves, for example, functionmodule AFX_CUST_GLOBAL_CUST_CHECK.
This program does not check the AOBJ basic settings
of the archiving objects.

Prerequisites
The archiving Customizing settings must be maintained. These include thearchiving control settings and theobject-specific settings of all archiving objects implemented.

Features
First the program checks if there is an entry in the archiving controlsettings for all archiving objects. If it cannot find an entry for onesingle object, it reports this accordingly by outputting an errormessage. If there is an entry, the system checks the individual valueswith regard to content in a second step. The individual checks involvedare as follows:
The archiving mode (productive, simulation, test) must be maintained.
Commit counter >= 1.
The mode for the analysis program must be maintained.
The value of the resubmission period >= 1.
The unit of the resubmission period must be maintained.
The value of the default setting for the residence time >= the minimumresidence time of the archiving object (in the archiving control checktable).
The unit of the default setting for the residence time must bemaintained.
The value of the retention period for the archiving log >= 1.
The unit of the retention period for the archiving log must bemaintained.
Checking the settings for package formation: If you want packageformation to take place dynamically at runtime in parallel processing,the number of packages must be maintained and show a value >= theminimum number of packages of the archiving object (in the archivingcontrol check table). If package formation takes place using a profilegenerated beforehand in the pre-step, a valid package formationprocedure must be maintained for it. In addition
, the package size must be maintained and take on a value >= theminimum package size of the archiving object (in the archiving controlcheck table) in this case.
The object-specific Customizing settings are subsequently checked. Thearchiving objects from the archiving controlcheck table for which a valid function module is maintained and thecheck flag is set are included in the check. The checking process isdescribed in the function module documentation.

Selection

Output
The program creates a log in the form of a simple list that is output onthe screen once the plausibility checks have been made. Checks that havebeen successfully completed are presented graphically with a greenbackground. Customizing settings that are incorrect or missing, however,are presented with a red background. All messages are self-explanatory.
The incorrect settings must be corrected in the relevantarchiving Customizing settings before the next archiving run.
