Description
You must use the Archive Accounting Data transaction (PU22) inarchive management (transaction SARA) to start program RPAR5W00.This ensures that entries are made in archive management tables (suchas ADMI_VARIA).
Please read the relevant documentation (Extended help).
You should only archive data if you are sure it is no longer requiredbecause it is technically very complex to access archived data at alater date.
This archiving program archives timeevaluation results stored in cluster B2 of the import/exportdatabase PCL2. The name of thearchiving object is PA_TIME.
The program only archives records which have been prepared forarchiving and are already flagged in table T569B for the currentarchiving group.
When archiving has been completed, the deleteprogram (RPAR5D00) is run. This program only deletes the recordsthat were written by RPAR5W00.
A reload program is also available.
The names of the individual report programs and automatic starting ofthe delete program are controlled in archiving customizing(transactions AOBJ, ACLA). Do not change any entries here.
Data is not locked.
You can display archived data using the report programRPCLSTB2.

Possible entries
In the Comment/note field, you can enter a short text for thearchive run.
If you select the "Test run" option, thearchiving session is not stored on thedatabase, and is assigned the number "000000". The statistics show thata test run has taken place. A delete program is not started for a testrun.
If you select "Detailed log", the program outputs detailed information.Only use this option when searching for errors. The log is verydetailed and should not be generated in a live run.

Precondition
An archiving group must have been created by theArchive Accounting Data transaction (PU22).

Output
The program outputs statistics on the archived objects. The number ofobjects and the number of archived PCL1 entries, each 4KB in size, aredisplayed. The size of the archive file is calculated according to theformula: 4KB x number of PCL1 records / compression factor. Thecompression factor depends on the available data and is, therefore,different for each run.
If you select the 'Detailed log' option, control data is generated infunction group PAR5 (see above).
