Our SAP ECC6 launched on 2013-07 and we do data archive regularly.
However, I found EKPO table size keeps rising all the time, current table size: 21.25GB and its number of records: 20,101,749.
I found there are still plenty of history records :
With the SQL statement, eg. :
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SAPPRD.EKPO WHERE AEDAT BETWEEN '20160101' AND '20161231'
I found:
In year 2015, no. of history reco: 9,722,328, 48.37% of the total no. of records.
In year 2014, 4,486,634, 22.32%
From 2013-07 to 2013-12: 2,201,581, 10.95%
From 2013-01 to 2013-06: 1,403,960, 6.98%
I would like to know:
1. Why there are so many history records in EKPO even we do SAP data archive regularly?
2. T-code: OLME, "Purchase order", "Define Tolerance Limit for Archiving"
3. I found: Residence time 1: 90, Residence time 2: 30
4. I am a DBA and only responsible for database related issue. Data Archive is not my task.
5. Could you tell the reason of my problem, or, at least, the way to find it out : EKPO huge data even after data archive
Thanks a lot
