FSM Data Retention Policy

(s4)PACG 200 SP13

Following implementation of Retention Policies in the FSM (for more check here) the handling of a new message type got introduced in the Connector. This message <DATADELETEDEVENT> is sent by FSM when objects get removed. Connector by itself does not delete in the backend system any object removed in FSM as a result of implementation of Retention Policy however information about these deletions are stored in the dedicated table - /PACG/ECM_DELEVT

In order to make use of these information one must implement BADI /PACG/ECM_DELETE_RETENTION. This BAdI has only one method DELETE_RETENTION which accepts two parameters:

IV_COMPID - connector’s company Id
IS_DEL_EVN - a structure that contains information about deleted object.

The structure IS_DEL_EVN, of type /PACG/ECM_IS_DELETE_EVT contains in turn following information (and these information are also stored in /PACG/ECM_DELEVT table.

ID - the id of the message itself
CREATEDATETIME - time stamp of an sent
TRANSACTIONID - id of transaction in FSM
OBJECT - the SAP key of the object
OBJECTID - the FSM guid of the object
DELETIONTYPE - deletion type HARD/SOFT, informs if deletion in FSM is reversible
DELETIONREASON - deletion reason RETENTION/MANUAL, informs if deletion was initiated by retention policy or user’s action
OBJECTTYPE - type of deleted object

EXAMPLE:

ID F520E3F9535F4D5FA6D29D35A35A358C
CREATEDATETIME 2024-05-13T00:07:32Z
TRANSACTIONID 118885
OBJECT 000000000010014256
OBJECTID 5E00710E4A0E4BA19DD13B2A68DCEBED
DELETIONTYPE HARD
DELETIONREASON RETENTION
OBJECTTYPE EQUIPMENT

Deletion Report

In order to help keeping the size of /PACG/ECM_DELEVT within the limits a dedicated deletion report was implemented /PACG/ECM_DEL_DELEVT - Delete table /PACG/ECM_DELEVT
