7 Infrastructure Storage and retention service (SRS) and store browser Solution enhancements Storage and retention service (SRS) for controlling information lifecycle management stores based on the ABAP application server Can be used instead of XML DAS, which requires separate Java application server Key benefits Simplify customer IT landscape no separate Java application server required Reduce overall system maintenance effort Reduce total cost of ownership related to system landscape ERP 6.0 EhP6 7

8 User interface and content Enhance cockpits for retention management and retention warehouse Solution enhancements Cockpits in SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management include all transactions that administrators require for a particular information lifecycle management scenario Within a cockpit, tasks are grouped by scenario steps and in the sequential order in which the administrator needs to perform them, e.g. all tasks required for processing information lifecycle management rules or for BI reporting Users can better align the menu structures of the cockpit with scenario process steps Menu structures in easy-access menu and SAP NetWeaver Business Client Key benefits Enable administrators to concentrate on the specific tasks they need to perform Guide administrators through the information lifecycle management process Reduce administration effort ERP 6.0 EhP6 8

9 User interface and content Tax content based on DART and enablement of PS_PROJECT Solution enhancements Delivered tax content based on DART, version 2.6e Enablement of PS_PROJECT archiving object for use in SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (available for system decommissioning) Key benefits Customers with SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management can perform tax audits based on legacy data (system decommissioning scenario) with the same content as in DART Reworked and modernized PS_PROJECT archiving object PS project data can be archived according to information lifecycle management rules (usage only for system decommissioning scenario) ERP 6.0 EhP6 9

10 Retention management Rule simulator Solution enhancements Tool to simulate the result of rule evaluation for individual objects of SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management (expert function) Simulation based on concrete values that the customer enters according to a use case Simulation log that provides an overview of all relevant audit areas, policies, and business objects protected by legal holds Ability to use tool in retention management and system decommissioning (RW) scenarios Key benefits View potential results of a rule before actually applying it in live mode Adapt the rules to obtain the desired results, based on the output of simulation ERP 6.0 EhP6 10

11 System decommissioning Automate data transfer and filling of repository Solution enhancements Enhanced automation of legacy data transfer, conversion and storage Transfer process includes fewer steps During transfer of metadata to the retention warehouse system, the repository can automatically be filled with data from the repository tables in the legacy system Function to edit the repository, if required: delete or add tables Key benefits Less manual effort for transferring administration data to the retention warehouse Less effort for filling the repository Accelerated data-transfer process ERP 6.0 EhP6 11

12 System decommissioning Transfer references in SAP ArchiveLink; search and display print lists Solution enhancements SAP ArchiveLink software links to attachments and print lists and can also be transferred to the retention warehouse ( pull from within retention warehouse) In the retention warehouse, the links can be stored as references for the required retention periods, based on rules of SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management Since print lists are not connected to business objects, they cannot be found and called in queries Enablement of users to find print lists and display them in the retention warehouse, using the viewer in SAP ArchiveLink software Key benefits Tighter integration of unstructured content Convenient way to find and display print lists in the retention warehouse ERP 6.0 EhP6 12

13 Future Direction Road Map for SAP NetWeaver Information Lifecycle Management Information lifecycle management Retention management End-of-life data End-of-life system End-Of-Life Data Data archiving Manage database volume System decommissioning Store management based on ABAP Enhanced UI and delivered content Enhanced retention management Streamlined system decommissioning process Cut data volume Cut energy use Reduce system complexity and cost Reduce risk Ensure legal compliance Meet audit requirements Solution Overview ERP 6.0 EhP 6 Future direction 13
