Documentation
Definition
Use
This parameter controls the maximum size of an archive file. Before an object is written to an archive file, the system checks whether the maximum permitted size is exceeded. If so, the current archiving file is closed and another is opened to accommdate the object.
Procedure
If a storage system is connected to the SAP System, you must not exceed the maximum permitted size for the storage system.
If you do not enter a value here, or you enter a value that exceeds two gigabytes, the maximum size of an archive file is automatically restricted to two gigabytes.
Examples
Dependencies
Any change in these parameters also affects the performance of the archiving process. If the write program completes an archive file, the deletion program is automatically started (provided this is specified in Customizing). The delete program reads the file and deletes the data in the database. The smaller the maximum size of the file, the more likely it is that several delete jobs can be active in parallel to the write program. Several bacground processes are required for this. Parallel delete processes can, to a certain extent, be advantageous.
