Save, Retrieve and Archive EarlyWatch Alert in Solution Manager

You can save no longer needed EarlyWatch Alerts, i.e. remove them from the EWA list, to keep the EarlyWatch Alert services list short and comprehensible. If you have an archiving system connected, you can archive saved EarlyWatch Alerts, to reduce database load.

Prerequisites

Note

Your archiving system is not part of the SAP environment. You must set-up an external archiving system (note 546685).

End of the note.

To archive, you have made the following settings in the IMG: SAP Netweaver Application Server Basis Services Archive Link .

Save Early Watch Alert
