The Archiving Report is a blue.works report designed to archive relevant SAP Solution Manager history. It exports selected transactions and additional information in a way that ensures they remain traceable and usable even outside of SAP Solution Manager.

If SAP Solution Manager is taken out of service, important information may become difficult to access later on. Archiving helps ensure that changes, decisions, attachments, and contextual information remain traceable.

Relevant processes from SAP Solution Manager—such as those from ITSM, ChaRM, or Focused Build—can be archived. Depending on the scope, this may include descriptions, status information, text, attachments, references, and transport references.

Yes. The exported data is stored in a tabular structure that can be used as an index. This makes it possible to easily locate specific transactions, shipments, or documents later on.

The goal of archiving is to make the preserved history available independently of SAP Solution Manager. This ensures that relevant information can still be used even if SAP Solution Manager is no longer in operation.

Yes, provided they have been selected for export. In addition to the transaction data, attachments, longer texts, references, and other additional information can also be saved.

No. ChaRM is an important use case, but not the only one. The Archiving Report may also be relevant for ITSM and Focused Build content.

Ideally, this should be done before the SAP Solution Manager is shut down or decommissioned. This allows enough time to identify the relevant data, export it properly, and store it in the desired archive.

The effort involved depends on what data needs to be archived and the size of the dataset. Together, we’ll determine which processes are relevant and which export method makes the most sense for your situation.

The result is a structured export of your relevant SAP Solution Manager history. Depending on your selection, this includes an index file as well as additional files such as attachments, text documents, or PDFs, which can then be stored in your archive.
