About PI Archiving for SAP Basis Admins

By and large Archiving applies to asynchronous (EO and EOIO) messages only on the ABAP and JAVA side. It is a general decision by SAP to not archive synchronous (Best Effort) messages and this is by design unless error occurs during processing.

SXMSPMAST is the master table that holds the key information about each of the messages going through the Integration engine. The data is persisted in this table based on the retention period defined for asynchronous and synchronous messages.

If a message enters the Integration Server the field ITFACTION of SXMSPMAST table is set to INIT. Then the interface is checked for the action to take, if it is listed as an interface for archiving, the field ITFACTION is changed to ARCH. Otherwise it changes to DEL
