The archiving strategy determines the time intervals in which database mechanisms save actions to the database. This determines whether the database system can recover lost data.

Two options are available: Either the archiving mode is on during the update, or archiving is deactivated at the beginning of the downtime.

If the archiving mode is on, you receive the message Logging is switched on.

At the beginning of the downtime, you are prompted to deactivate archiving. You are prompted again at the end of the downtime to activate archiving.

Release upgrade only: Sizes for comparing the archives up to the DOWNCONF_DTTRANS phase and to the end of the upgrade can be found in the Quick Guide. They can vary considerably, depending on the amount of customer data.
