in SAP enterprises. When data are updated, the old and unwanted
data cannot be removed. To avoid problems such as data overflow,

data from the SAP database. The data/information is known as
archived data and the archived data is stored in the offline
location. It not only removes the data from the database, but also

tool and it also enables the user to control the size of the
enterprise database. The capacity of the data archiving is

components will deal with SAP data in the form of special object
known as Archiving Objects.
