Kori, The above inputs were helpful and i am now able to see the ILM actions in the Archiving objects. There were quite a few services that i had to activate as well.
I need one more input. I have only ABAP stack on my SAP system. and as far i read the documents XML DAS is the only way to connect the webdav storage but that needs the java stack. I do not have that AS JAVA. Any suggestion how to do this with ABAP stack. I am planning to use sybase IQ database for the storage. Please suggest
