We would like to delete old FF logs from 2007 onwards, that's lying in the SAP tables unused and aim is to retain only a year's logs.
But for deleting even for one day's log the system is resulting in dump, as the maximum dialog workprocess runtime (prameter: rdisp/max_wprun_time) is set to 1800 seconds.(It's not feasible to set the value the parameter to a higher value as it would impact performance)
Procedure followed to delete the logs:
/n/VIRSA/VFAT --> Administration --> Archive --> Delete/Download Log --> Select from and to date --> Check Delete --> Execute.
We have already gone through the SAP notes below:
1041912 - Firefighter Best Practice Archiving Strategy
1228205 - Error when trying to execute Log Data Auto Archive utility
1598473 - Substantial growth of DBTABLOG table due to VIRSA-ZVFATBAK
1636952 - Option to choose an archive period for EAM log
1710740 - Archive tables /VIRSA/ZFFTNSLOG and /VIRSA/ZVIRFFLOG
1891124 - Archive tables /VIRSA/ZFFTNSLOG and /VIRSA/ZVIRFFLOG
Is there a program available to schedule deletion of the FF logs in the background ?
What other options can we opt? As we do not want all logs to be archived until today.
