Summary :
This SAP Note addresses how to correctly establish logical and physical names and paths for archived files when utilizing application archiving tools, namely Transactions F040 for SAP Release 2.1/2.2 and SARA from Release 3.0 onwards. For F040, maintain logical names and assign physical paths accordingly. As of SARA Release 3.0, follow customization menus to define logical names, paths, and assign the necessary physical elements using Transaction FILE. Importance is placed on ensuring accurate syntax group settings for file paths, especially across UNIX and NT servers, to allow seamless archiving operations and accessibility across diverse system infrastructures. Attention must be given to client-specific settings and dynamic parameters to avoid conflicts and ensure file integrity during archiving runs.

Key words :
