hi, Recently I have completed one of such project and here is what I followed.
1) Create a new archving server with same AR/ITSM/SRM/SLM version as you production. This server will hold your archived data for reporting purpose. 2) Classify the forms on you production system as Foundation forms and Transaction forms. 3) Set up DSO between your production server and your archiving server. It works well its been more than 4 months the customer has not faced any issue. 4) Set up real time DSO for all the foundation and transaction forms from production to arhiving server. 5) Use RRR|Chive (the best tool for data transfer) to move data between production to archiving server. 6) Once that is done. Think about data deletion policy what we have implemented is that foundation data will be residing on both the server all the time and will be synced real time but transaction forms data will be delete for records older than 13 months from production. 7) Again use RRR|Chive tool to delete records from production the advantage is that you can generate an arx file of the data deleted using this toll. Hence you will always have a back of what you deleted. This is just about it in a nutshell. If you would like to have a discussion in detail will surely help you. The archiving does seems to be tricky process but once you set the process right its not that difficult.
