Summary:
Currently, a large number of enterprises use SAP R/3 as a platform for integration of business processes. But these highly integrated solutions generate huge quantity of transactional data, documents, and reports. With passage of time, the new and updated data is entered into the system while the old data still resides in the SAP enterprise system. Since some of the old data is critical, it cannot be deleted. The difficulty is keeping the data you want, and deleting the data you do not want.

ILM Components:
ILM from SAP is made up of three pillars: data archiving/data management, retention management, and retention warehouse.
Data archiving involves traditional functions and tool sets used to remove data from closed business processes from the database and storing it on inexpensive long-term storage. The focus of data archiving is data volume management.
Retention management deals with the end-of-life of data, and involves newly developed functions focusing on retention policy management, ILM-aware storage, destruction, as well as legal case management, the umbrella term for legal hold management and automated support.
Retention warehouse represents a standardized process for system decommissioning and involves enhanced archiving and snapshot programs for emptying out the system to be shut down. It also offers BI integration and predefined tax content, so that customers can continue to use the data from the decommissioned system for reporting purposes, even though the original system has been shut down.
