Programme SAP SYNC_HOME_PATH - Synchronization of Home Paths for XML-Based Archiving

Purpose
You need this function exclusively for XML-based archiving. You onlyneed to execute it once, at the latest immediately before the start ofthe first archiving session of an XML archiving object. You only need torun the function again if the program displayed an error message, or youentered new home paths in Archiving-Object-Specific Customizing.However, synchronizing the home paths more than once is not a problem.

Prerequisites

  • In each relevant client, every XML archiving object for which a logical
    • home path has been entered in basis customizing (or table maintenanceview ARCH_XHOME), must have a logical home path entered inArchiving-Object-Specific Customizing.
    • The XML Data Archiving Service (XML DAS) must be running in an SAP J2EE
      • Engine.
      • There must be an HTTP or HTTPS connection to the XML DAS running in the
        • SAP J2EE Engine.
        • The HTTP(S) connection must be marked as active in Basis Customizing

          • -> Configuration of XML DAS (alternatively in the tablemaintenance view ARCH_DAS), for every client from which the archive isaccessed.

          Features
          The transaction (meaning program SYNC_HOME_PATH) determines the homepaths that the XML archiving objects should use. You can transfer thesehome paths to the XML DAS in order to create them there.
          You can only begin archiving data after you have created the home paththat belongs to the XML archiving object.

          Selection
          Test Mode
          Here the logical home paths are analyzed for each XML archiving objectand the resulting home paths are displayed. Place holders, such as <(>
          <<)>SYSID>, are deleted. The program also checks whether the home pathsalready exist in the XML DAS.
          Production Mode
          The home paths are transferred to the XML DAS, which is identified viathe client-specific HTTP(S) connection. If a home path does not yetexist in the XML DAS, it is created. If a home path already exists, itremains unmodified.

          Output
          The program displays a list with the actions it executed.

          Example
          _ Test Mode
          X Production Mode
          In this example the program creates home paths of XML archiving objectsfor all clients for which a customizing entry exists.
