Use

In this Implementation Guide (IMG) activity you define logical path and file names.

Archiving files are stored in the file system under a physical path name and file name. These names are derived from the logical path name and file name that you define in this activity. The definition process involves the following three steps:

  1. Defining the logical path name
  2. Defining the logical file name
  3. Assigning the logical file name to the archiving object

Requirements

If you intend to transfer the archive files to a storage system using the Content Management Service, note that the storage system must have access to the archive files.

If you are using hierarchical storage management (HSM) systems, you must ensure that the archive files can be written to the file system of the HSM system.

Standard settings

Activities

Defining Logical Path Names

  1. Select an existing path name, for example ARCHIVE_GLOBAL_PATH, or choose New Entries to enter a new path name. Choose a name that reflects the function of the path.
  2. Choose Logical File Path Definition -> Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path. Select an existing syntax group or create a new syntax group.
  3. Assign a physical path name to the logical path name.

    You can use the F1 key in the Physical path field to display a list of possible parameters.

Defining Logical File Names

  1. Select an existing file name, for example ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE, or choose New Entries to enter a new file name. Choose a name that reflects the function of the path.
  2. Select Logical File Name Definition, Cross-Client in the dialog structure.

    The system displays the overview screen for changing the definition of logical file names.

  3. Make entries in the Physical file and Logical path fields.

    Enter a name for the physical file in the Physical file field. You can display a list of possible parameters by choosing F1 help.

The following parameters are particularly important:

PARAM_1: Two-character application key (for example, HR, CO, MM) for classifying the archive files in the system. The system enters a value during runtime. The value depends on the archiving object in question.

PARAM_2: One-digit alphanumeric character (0-9, A-Z). When a new archive file is created, the Archive Development Kit (ADK) increases this value by one if a file with an identical physical name already exists and would cause a conflict. For this reason it must always be part of the physical name.

PARAM_3: The system fills this parameter with the name of the archiving object during runtime. This provides information about the data content in archive management and enables you to store the archive files sorted by archiving object.

You use the Logical path field to assign the logical path name that you defined to an existing logical file name. You can assign one logical path name to several logical file names.
