• SAP Tcode: EARETPER - Define retention period

   for archived objects
  
  Overview:
  The SAP transaction code EARETPER is used to define the retention period for archived objects. This code is used to set the length of time that archived objects are kept in the system before they are deleted. This ensures that the system does not become cluttered with unnecessary data and that only relevant information is kept. 
  
  Functionality: 
  The EARETPER transaction code allows users to set a retention period for archived objects. This means that users can specify how long an object should be kept in the system before it is deleted. This helps to ensure that only relevant data is kept in the system and that unnecessary data is removed. The retention period can be set for individual objects or for all objects in a particular archive. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter the transaction code EARETPER into the command field of the SAP system. 
  2. Select the archive for which you want to set a retention period. 
  3. Enter the desired retention period in days, weeks, months, or years. 
  4. Confirm your selection by pressing enter or clicking on “Save”. 
  5. The retention period will now be applied to all archived objects in the selected archive. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to note that once a retention period has been set, it cannot be changed or removed without deleting all of the archived objects in the selected archive. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the correct retention period has been set before confirming your selection. Additionally, it is recommended that users regularly review their archives and delete any unnecessary data to ensure that their system remains organized and efficient.
