Course Overview
The SAP Data Archiving course, officially designated as BIT660, is designed for professionals seeking to master data lifecycle management within SAP environments, particularly SAP S/4HANA 2023. This course prepares participants for roles such as SAP Archiving Consultant, Technology Consultant, and System Administrator, equipping them with the skills to plan and implement comprehensive data archiving projects. With over 70% of SAP customers actively managing data growth and compliance through archiving strategies, this training addresses a critical industry need. Participants will gain expertise in reducing database table sizes, improving system performance, and ensuring regulatory compliance, making them valuable assets in organizations undergoing digital transformation or system upgrades.
Participants in the SAP Data Archiving program engage with core tools and technologies including Transaction SARA (SAP Archive Administration), the Archive Development Kit (ADK), Archive Information System (AIS), Document Relationship Browser (DRB), and Data Retention Tool (DART). The hands-on lab environment, based on SAP ERP 6.0 EhP8 with applicability to S/4HANA on-premise systems, allows learners to configure archiving objects, define selection criteria using TAANA, manage archiving sessions, and store archive files in external storage. A key real-world scenario involves executing a full data archiving cycle for Financial Accounting (FI) objects, from database analysis and customizing to deletion and read access verification, simulating actual project implementations in enterprise settings.
While the SAP Data Archiving (BIT660) course does not lead to a standalone certification exam, it is a foundational component for advanced SAP ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) credentials and supports preparation for broader SAP technology certifications. Professionals with SAP archiving expertise can expect salaries ranging from $75,000 to over $100,000 annually, depending on experience and role. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official SAP courseware, and access to 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring learners gain practical, exam-relevant skills. Completing this course positions individuals to lead data optimization initiatives, support compliance audits, and advance into senior SAP architecture or ILM specialist roles.
