QPPD has archiving functionality fully integrated into the SAP Standard Archive Development Kit (ADK). In addition to standard archiving, where the data is always either productively present or archived (we call this standard archiving), there is another archiving option called version archiving. This method works like a simple file export/import tool but is also integrated into the ADK environment, with all the corresponding benefits such as logging and file management.
Regardless of the archiving method, QPPD provides a special view of the productive master data cockpit that is adapted for displaying archived specifications (the Archive Cockpit).
The QPPD archiving suite includes the following features:
No. | Function |
|---|---|
1 | Mass deletion flag for QPPD data for archiving purposes |
2 | Writing data (master/transaction data) to archive files |
3 | Physical deletion of archived data |
4 | Display of archived specifications including references |
5 | Restoration of archived specifications to the productive state |
