Archive old devices that have been scrapped

Hi All,

We are looking for a solution to delete old IS-U devices (meters) from the SAP database.

Our client has been running SAP for almost 10 years now and they want to delete meters that have not been used for more than 3 years as that would basically mean that such devices have already been scrapped a long time ago.

So far, we have looked at note 378823 which suggests that the archiving object PM_EQUI can be used to archive/delete meters but only those which have been created inadvertently. However, meters that have usage history cannot be archived through this process.

Even when we set the Deletion Flag for such meters, the PM_EQUI process would not delete these objects as they were installed more than 3 years ago and there would usage history records in the system (Tables EGER*, logical device number, etc)

Also, raised an SAP incident to which SAP has responded that the request falls under something they call "Consulting Request".

Any pointers to help us in this venture would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chiranth
