SNP Outboard™ Housekeeping

Cleaning out old and unused data in SAP landscapes

data Remove no-value data

Did you know that up to 40% of your SAP data can be temporary and should be deleted? This is especially true with SAP BW systems, as six out of ten of the largest tables in ERP are full of technical data. This data does not only pollute SAP with no-value data, but it also slows down the performance of the system. Every SAP system generates data that loses value quickly after its creation. 

According to SAP best practices, logs, certain documents and staging data that are created should be deleted on a regular basis in order to optimize the performance of your system. These manual tasks can be time-consuming and SAP systems are often polluted with no-value data because they lack the resources to regularly delete such aged, temporary data. Automating such housekeeping tasks, especially in a complex SAP landscape containing ERP, BW, CRM, SRM and HANA, can greatly reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) for storage and ongoing maintenance along with improved system performance across the board.

SNP Outboard Housekeeping is an ABAP-based solution that centrally enables the automatic deletion of temporary SAP data across your entire landscape.

checklist Don‘t get bogged down with tasks

Free yourself of tasks that are time-consuming and mundane by getting more than the standard SAP activities. With SNP Outboard Housekeeping tasks are structured in four main areas – Basis, Business Warehouse, ERP, and CRM and each topic contains additional engineered tasks plus the related standard SAP Housekeeping tasks. And of course, you can automate it all – just set up the tasks once with our scheduling assistant and let them run, while you tend to more important things.
