You can use Data Archive to retire SAP applications to the Data Vault. When you retire an SAP application, Data Archive retires all standard and custom tables in all of the installed languages and SAP clients. Data Archive also retires all attachments that are stored within the SAP database and in an external file system or storage system.
In SAP applications, you can use the Archive Development Kit (ADK) to archive data. When you archive within SAP, the system creates ADK files and stores the files in an external file system. When you retire an SAP application, you also retire data stored in ADK files.
After you retire the application, you can use the Data Validation Option to validate the retired data. You can use the Data Discovery portal or other third-party query tools to access the retired data.
