Source Database Requirements

Source Database Requirements

Verify the source database requirements. The source database is the location where you archive data from and is typically referred to as the production database. You can verify the requirements before or after the installation.
You can archive data from the following source database types:
  • IBM DB2
  • Informix
  • JDBC
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • Netezza
  • Oracle
  • Sybase ASE
  • Teradata
For other databases, for example MySQL, use a generic JDBC driver to connect to the source database as a generic JDBC source connection.
You may need to create a staging tablespace or have additional staging space available on the source database. The staging tablespace creates space for the data only and not the index.
Data Archive requires a staging tablespace in the following cases:
  • Live archiving jobs.
  • Archive jobs that use Oracle partition exchange to purge data from the source database.
Data Archive requires staging space for retirement jobs that retire SAP applications with attachments.
