Maintenance of IDocs for VSS-DSW
In general, IDocs generated in the system needs to be removed periodically as over time, they will consume disk space. How long the IDocs needs to be in the system is the decision of the customer based on various factors for example the criticality of the data and size of database. In any cases, after some times, the IDocs should be removed.
Below are examples of what can be safely removed:
Attachments of the IDocs
Trace IDocs
Processed outbound IDocs with status 18 or 41
Processed inbound IDocs with status 53
VSS provides a transaction (/DBE/ARS_IDOCS_DEL) to remove the IDocs. It can be launched from
the foreground but recommended to be a scheduled job for example, scheduled every night.
