significantly as we are reducing the required aging of our most used workflow
from 3 months to 1 week aging.&nbsp; Although we use SAP Archive administration
transaction SARA for archive object WORKITEM to write the archive file and then
delete the rows from the database using the archive file, we don&#8217;t store
the archive files for future reference as the workflow data is no longer
needed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Only completed workflows are eligible for archiving.&nbsp; We
have our workflows archived/deleted using 3 different aging variants, 1 week, 3
month and 6 month.&nbsp; Each aging variant runs on a different night each week
and then the deletion from the database is done for all archive files on
Saturday.&nbsp; We schedule RSARCHD for object WORKITEM to automatically do the
deletions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
