Prerequisites

The status Deletion flag must be set in the DBM data before archiving can be performed.
You have the following options for setting the deletion flag:

• You can manually flag the DBM data for deletion.
• You can flag DBM data for deletion using the report /DBM_ORD_ARC_PRE for orders or /DBM/PACK_ARC_PRE for packages.
• If you execute the report in Test Mode, you can determine which DBM 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.
