Keep your system lean and clean with effective data volume management

Data grows quickly by nature, which is why you need a strategy for keeping your data volume under control. SAP systems are often cluttered with temporary data, protocol data, infrequently needed data or data which only needs to be stored for legal purposes. The first step is to identify which data you can safely get rid of, and either archive or delete it. This lowers costs, ensures compliance and slows down data growth, creating long-term benefits for the company.

Effective data volume management is key to shrinking your database size and limit its growth permanently.

One part of effective data volume management is putting in place a strategy for dealing with temporary data you only use occasionally. For example, you could store it outside of the database in a suitable archive. SNP Outboard Housekeeping is a specific ABAP-based solution created to manage data volume enabling the automatic deletion of temporary SAP data across your entire landscape.
