As an SAP database grows, resource consumption and administration efforts increase while system performance deteriorates. A data archiving solution is needed to securely store data on a long-term archiving platform so that users still have access to historical data from their SAP interface as needed. OpenText solutions like SAP data archiving and Document Access for SAP minimize database growth, improve performance, and provide convenient access to archived data alongside online data in the SAP user interface, helping to reduce costs and ensure continuous high performance of the SAP system.
