• Key Concepts: 
  Archiving sequence is a feature of SAP's Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component. It is used to define the order in which data is archived from an SAP system. The archiving sequence consists of a set of steps that are executed in a specific order. Each step can be configured to perform a specific task, such as deleting data, moving data to an archive, or creating a backup. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The archiving sequence is configured in the SAP system using the ILM Configuration Tool. This tool allows users to define the steps that will be executed in the archiving sequence and the order in which they will be executed. Once the archiving sequence has been configured, it can be executed manually or scheduled to run at regular intervals. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring an archiving sequence, it is important to consider the order in which the steps will be executed. For example, if data is being moved to an archive, it should be done before any data is deleted. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all steps are configured correctly and that any backups created are stored securely.
