Method and computer system for identifying objects for archiving

A method for archiving objects the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving data for archiving, wherein the data comprise a first portion for an object including an object type and a second portion for at least one sub-object including a sub-object type the sub-object being assigned to the object, wherein the assignment is identified by an assignment scheme that assigns the sub-object type to the object type, respectively;
• and
• archiving the data.

A computer system for archiving objects the computer system comprising:

• an application computer including a first memory, the first memory supplying a plurality of objects for archiving, wherein an object includes an object type and at least one sub-object, the first memory providing an assignment scheme that assigns a plurality of sub-object types to the object type, the application computer further including an identifier for identifying the at least one sub-object for archiving with the object, wherein the at least one sub-object includes a sub-object type that is assigned to the object type of the object;
• and
• an archiving computer including a second memory for archiving the at least one sub-object with the object.

A computer system for identifying objects for archiving, the computer system comprising:

A computer system for archiving objects, the computer system comprising:

• an interface for receiving data for archiving from a further computer, wherein the data comprise a first portion for an object having an object type and a second portion for at least one sub-object having a sub-object type, the sub-object being assigned to the object, wherein the assignment is identified by an assignment scheme that assigns the sub-object type to the object type;
• and
• a memory for archiving the data.

A computer program product comprising a plurality of instructions for causing a processor of a computer to archive objects, the computer program product causing the computer to execute the steps of:

• receiving data for archiving, wherein the data comprise a first portion for an object including an object type and a second portion for at least one sub-object including a sub-object type, the sub-object being assigned to the object, wherein the assignment is identified by an assignment scheme that assigns the sub-object type to the object type, respectively;
• and
• archiving the data.
