SAP Data Archiving - Round 2 Project
------------------------------------

Accomplishments past period:

* Met with Wayne Turner and Kyriakos Zavoleas to determine the next
   steps regarding FM data removal.

* Decided to include MM_ACCTIT archiving  as part of the next quarterly
   purge cycle to be performed by R3-Admin and scheduled for mid-January.


Goals for the coming period:

* Insure all are in alignment to purge MM_ACCTIT in Production.

* Test in SF3 the MIT customized version of FM data removal in SF3.

* Update the Project Web site.





SAP Production Subset Project
-----------------------------

Accomplishments past period:

* Met with Wayne Turner to decide the next steps for the production
   subset project

* Discussed the implementation of a partial production subset for the
   upcoming refresh of the development system (SF2).
   The only object considered for this subset is FI_DOCUMNT.
   A purge of data <= FY99 would represent a 25% space gain.



Goals for the coming period:

* Take decision on SF2 subset

* Schedule SF2 subset for early February as part of the SF2 refresh
   activities.

* Review purchasing documents retention period with FSS customizing team.

* Continue MM_EKKO archiving exercise

* Archive as many archiving objects as possible in SF3.
   The following objects are considered for the subset but can only be
   archived once MM_EKKO has been archived:
   . CO_COSTCTR - Cost center - all data (incl. center master)
   . PS_PROJECT - Project system: Operative structures
   . FM_DOC_FI  - FI individual funds management items
   . CO_ORDER - Orders with transaction data
   . SD_VBAK - Sales documents
   . FM_DOC_OI - Commitments in funds management
   . CO_ITEM - CO line items

* Develop formal timeline for the production subset project.

* Update Website and project documentation.

* Explore options and strategies for utilizing learnings from these
   exercises with FSS.
