Data archiving and de-archiving in a business environment

摘要

A computer implemented method for data archiving and dearchiving in a business environment is described herein. According to an implementation, the method includes obtaining metadata configuration associated with a source database storing transaction information, the transaction information being related to a business transaction. Based on the metadata configuration an archive specification is generated. Further, based on the archive specification and the metadata configuration, an archive mapping is configured. According to an aspect, the archive mapping is synchronized with an update in one of the metadata configuration. The archive mapping can be implemented for archiving the transaction information. Additionally, the archived transaction information can be de-archived, or can be purged onto a back-up repository.

1. A computer implemented method for data archiving and de-archiving in a business environment, the method comprising:
obtaining metadata configuration associated with a source database storing transaction information, the transaction information being related to a business transaction; generating an archive specification based on the metadata configuration, wherein the archive specification comprises archive-specific metadata comprising details of data to be archived, details of location where the data is to be archived, and archiving rules, and wherein the archiving rules are based on at least one of archiving policies, archiving requirements and archiving preferences; configuring an archive mapping based on the archive specification and the metadata configuration associated with the source database, wherein the archive mapping is configured in form of an executable entity; and synchronizing the archive mapping with an update in one of the metadata configuration, wherein the archive mapping is implemented for archiving the transaction information.
