📌Background
In the world of SAP SuccessFactors Incentive Management, managing report servers efficiently is crucial—especially when dealing with large volumes of data(PDFs). Over time, report servers can become cluttered or reach capacity, leading to performance issues and administrative overhead.
To address this, SAP has introduced a custom solution called ARCReps (Archive Reports), designed to simplify and automate the management of reports on both HANA and Oracle-based environments.
🚀What is ARCReps?ARCReps is a custom-built utility that helps customers manage their report servers more effectively. It is particularly useful for:
🔄 Exporting reports in bulk – Ideal for archiving or migrating reports.🧹 Cleaning up report servers – Frees up space when servers are full or nearing capacity.💾 Backing up reports externally – Ensures important data is preserved outside the SAP environment via Integration (using dropbox from Outbound folder to your blob Storage) – This process will be driven by customer or Partner or SAP Professional Services Implementation colleagues through Consulting.This tool is especially relevant for customers using legacy systems on HANA or Oracle databases within the SAP SuccessFactors Sales Performance Management suite.
