The status Deletion flag must be set in the VSS data before archiving can be performed.
You have the following options for setting the deletion flag:
- You can manually flag the VSS data for deletion.
- You can flag VSS data for deletion using the report /VSS_ORD_ARC_PRE for orders or /DBE/PACK_ARC_PRE for packages.
If you execute the report in Test Mode, you can determine which VSS data has already been completed, and for which data the residence time has been reached.
If you execute the report in Production Mode, the system sets the status DFLAG (Deletion Flag) for the data found.
