Basis Customizing: XML Archiving

PurposeGenerally you make your basis Customizing settings when you implement the XML Data Archiving Service. This

Customizing area differs considerably from Basis Customizing in ADK.

Procedure

Customizing of Home Paths

Here you determine which actual home path a logical home path is to represent.

When making your entries, adhere to the following naming convention:

· To avoid conflicts with other archiving objects your home path should always begin with /<SYSID>/<CLIENT>

/<OBJECT>/, whereby OBJECT will be substituted by an XML archiving object.

· You can only use the key words shown here, identified as such by < >, because only these are recognized and

substituted by the system.

· The standard is always delivered with the logical home path DEFAULT_WITH_CLIENT.

Example

The home path /<SYSID>/<CLIENT>/<OBJECT>/MY_HOME/ becomes /C11/000/BC_SBOOK_X

/MY_HOME/ after synchronization with XML DAS from system C11, client 000, using archiving object

BC_SBOOK_X.

Configuration of XML DAS

Here you determine which XML DAS is to be used by entering information or making settings in the following three

columns.

· RFC Destination

Here you enter the HTTP connection that you entered in Display and Maintain RFC Destinations (transaction

SM59).· Active

Here you determine with which XML Data Archiving Service the application system communicates.

You can list as many entries as you like under RFC Destination. However, only one HTTP connection may

be activated. I f more than one are activated you may encounter inconsistencies. For more information see

the F1 Help for this column.

· Check Sum

Here you determine whether or not a check sum is to be verified when resources are read.

If this indicator is activated, a check is run during the reading of a resource to make sure that it has not been

changed or modified in any way since it was archived, and that the resource is the resource that was originally

archived.

SAP recommends that you always activate this indicator, because it does not have any significant effect on

access performance. Sett ing the indicator ensures you that the resource was not modified.

Synchronization of Home Paths

Here you determine the home paths that are to be used by XML archiving objects. You can determine already existing

home paths, create new ones or delete home paths that were created accidentally.

You cannot archive any data until you have created a home path for your XML archiving object.

· Determine

The program analyzes the logical home paths for all XML archiving objects and then lists the corresponding home

paths. Key words, such as <SYSID>, are substituted. The program does not check whether it is possible to

create these home paths in XML DAS or whether they already exist in XML DAS.

· Create

The home paths are transferred to XML DAS, which is identified via the HTTP connection that was entered for

each client. All home paths that do not yet exist are created. If a home path already exists, the program will not

make any changes to it.

· Archive Store

You have the option to enter an archive store. This archive store is assigned to all newly created home paths.

However, the archive store has to be known to XML DAS (see below: Administration Function Define Archive

Stores.) You can change the archive store you entered, as long as no data has been archived yet for this particular

home path (Administration Function Assign Archive Stores).

· Delete

This action deletes the home paths entered in Customizing from their corresponding XML DAS. If these home

paths have already been used, nothing is deleted.

· Only for Current Client

If you mark this check box you restrict the selection of the home paths to those paths for which entries have been

made in archiving-object-specific Customizing under the current client.

This Customizing function is described in detail in the program documentation, which can be reached via . Also see the

corresponding F1 Help for each area.

XML DAS Administration

Here you enter the Customizing settings that are necessary from the perspective of XML DAS. I t is not possible to begin

with XML archiving until these Customizing settings have been made. As of SAP NetWeaver '04 you can also call up the

XML DAS Administration as a browser application, by entering the following path:

http://<Host der SAP J2EE Engine>:<HTTP port>/DataArchivingService/DAS

Examplehttp:// localhost:50000/DataArchivingService/DAS

The XML DAS Administration offers the following functions for making Customizing settings:

The XML DAS Administration is part of the standard SAP J2EE Engine installation and is therefore only

available in English.

· Define Archive Stores

In this function you can see which archive stores already exist and you can create new ones. When you create a

new archive store, make sure that you use the correct syntax for the corresponding platforms you are using. Inother words, if your SAP J2EE Engine runs on several servers that use different platforms, make sure that you

enter, for example, via which path you can reach the archive store from your Unix server. If you are using only a

WebDAV server as your file system, the WebDAV protocol determines the syntax of the paths. In this case you

must also enter the proxy information for your WebDAV server.

· Test Archive Stores

You can use this function to view a list of current archive stores and their status. Archive stores with the symbol

are accessible and available.

· Synchronize Home Paths

You can use this function to manually create or delete home collections.

However, we recommend that you perform this function from the application, using Archive Administration

(transaction SARA). See above. The function Synchronize Home Paths of the XML DAS Administration is

better used for testing purposes.

· Assign Archive Stores

You can use this function to assign an archive store to each existing home collection or application collection. If you

have already assigned archive stores to your home or application collections with the Synchronize Home Paths

function of the XML DAS Administration or Archive Administration (transaction SARA) then you do not need to

repeat this step here. It is possible for you to use this function to override the settings you made in Archive Administration, but you can only do so before the first archiving session for a particular archive store.

To change an archive store first choose None from the dropdown box in the column Archive Store. Choose Save.

Choose a new archive store from the dropdown box in the column Archive Store and choose Save.

· List Archive Paths

This function delivers a list of all changeable and not changeable archive paths that exist in your system. To view a

list of the sub-paths for a specific home path, choose Expand .

The function Assign Archive Stores only lists those home paths that have never been used in an archiving session.

You can find a detailed description of all the functions of the XML DAS Administration in the SAP J2EE Engine

documentation under Administration of the XML Data Archiving Service.
