Prerequisites

Licensing

The use of the DPM requires licensing of the module. With the licensing, a customer-specific license key is provided which contains the name of the licensee as well as a code. This key must be stored as a mainparameter in the system, to allow the DPM actions to be executed.

Valuemation Versions

The Data Protection Manager is available from the following versions:

• Valuemation 46HF... (Please ask the Support Center for the exact version.)
• Valuemation 50HF11
• Valuemation 51

On the hotfix lines (HF), the software was delivered with the mentioned hotfixes.

Archive Schema

To use archiving, an archive schema must be available and configured. See the 'Archive Creation' section for details.

Audit Settings

For complete traceability, the 'Audit Archiving, Deletion and Anonymization of Objects' setting should be activated in the 'Application Monitoring' page of Global Settings. With the option enabled, audit records are also created for each archived, deleted and anonymized object.

Note that enabling this option may have adverse performance consequences due to huge amounts of additional data being created.
