XI Archiving Questions

Hi

I'm in the process to configure Xi archiving process. Following the oss note 872388 for background jobs for archiving process.

Following is my setting for retention period:

      category    paraneter                         subparameter   value

1.    archive      persitent duration              Async              30

2.    deletion     persitent duration              Async              31

3.    deletion     persitent duration              history              32

4.    deletion     persitent duration              Sync                30

5.    deletion     persitent duration error       Sync                31

Following jobs has been succesfully completed for deltion of xml message and history entries:

1.   SAP_BC_XMB_DELETE_700

2.   SPA_BC_XMB_HIST_DELETE_700

and ARV_BC_XMB_WRP and ARV_BC_XMB_DEL jobs has created archive and delete steps has also compated without any error.

As per my understanding, all xml message before 30 days should be archived in the system and i should not see any message in sxmb_moni tcode older then 30 days but it has not happened. I'm able to see all xml message of the last year..

is it the right process fro archiving or is there something missing in this process?

Pls confirm.

Thanks

Amar
