Archiving IDOC's

Hi all,
I need to archive the idoc table EDID4.In this i have few doubts through tx SARA i am not able to archive or thru any programs or function module..
Is it neccesary to install Content server and SAPDB for archiving ? or we can archive this table(cluster) alone by any means ....please give me some suggestions ASAP
Kind Regards
Umesh K

Hi Victor,
I had made changes to logical file names and paths accordingly but when i give spool parameters in TX SARA after selecting object name as IDOC in that when i change the Archiving mode to archive only,it is throwing an error "SAP ArchiveLink: Storage system A2 not known" like this..i tried to create the content repository and donnt know whether it is needed as we are trying to archive the idoc data to local file systems..please guide me how to overcome this error
Kind regards

Display archived IDOCs in transaction WE10 - click on IDOC number

Hi experts,
If you run transaction WE10 and display IDOCs not archived (from the database), from the list of IDOCs you can click on the IDOC number and then go to the screen that displays the IDOC information (Control, Data and Status records).
However, if you run WE10 with archived IDOCs (Data Source is archive), you get to see the list of IDOCs but when you click on the IDOC number it doesn't go to another screen showing you the IDOC information but it stays on the same screen.
Is this expected behaviour? I have had a looked at the OSS and Internet Search and there is no reference to this behaviour.
Many thanks for your help in advanced.

Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for moving my post to the correct space.
Our Auth team is very confident that this is not a user auth issue. This could possibly be true because the idoc data resides on the following tables when in the database (before archive) - EDIDC, EDID4 & EDIDS. The idoc could then be viewed via transaction WE02 or the Data Browser (SE16). There is no EDIDD table in our ERP system so obviously no authorization object to assign to.
Once the idoc is archived, the data is removed from the ERP tables and moved to our archive database/server for storage. So when trying to view the archived record, the system does not access the ERP tables but rather the archive directory (that it's mapped to in settings). I assume the SARA transaction merely displays the data in the same segments/grouping with these table names (mentioned above in my first post) but instead of EDID4 it displays EDIDD.
According to the error longtext, "The check performed when data is read from the archive is the same as that of the Data Browser (transaction SE16)". So I was not involved with setting up our archiving procedure but could it be that table EDID4 was incorrectly mapped to table EDIDD in archives?

Store archiving IDoc's to an HTTp content server

Hi Guru's,
I want to store the archived IDoc's to an HTTP content server.
i have created an content server on OAC2 and i dont know how to link the archived IDocs to an HTTp content server.
I searched many forums, but i cant get the exact solution for this.
Could anyone help me on this.. pls...
Thanks in advance,
murugan..

Hello,
I will take a final call on this - As i understand all the configuration is correct but not updating in link tables.
I also understand system Id is ok as PO and IDoC are working.
In Content repository creation for PO & IDoC you will be taking document area as Data Archiving but for Printlist content repo you have to select ArchiveLink.
If you have done above then check connectivity and send the certificate
In your Archive server (IXOS, EASY, DOCUMENTUM or so on ) Check same content repository is properly configured.. if possible refresh it. Check for certification from SAP.
You are facing connectivity issue so cross check carefull all archive server level.
Lastly check oss note
Let us hope for the best.
-Thanks,
Ajay.

How to view archived IDoc's

Hi experts,
i need to view the archived content of the archived idocs. i tried with SARI(Infostructure SAP_IDOC_001),
but i cant view the content of the archived IDOC's. the scenario is like,
> IDoc's are archived using SARA
> Delete that IDOC using SARA
> SAP_IDOC_001 infostructure got activated using SARI
after that i tried to view the content in WE10, but i cant. Is thr any other steps i missed here?
Plz help on this.
Thanks,
murugan.

Hi,
After activating Infostructure, Did you build the Info structure? If not then build it.
Path > SARI > Customizing > Status > Build structure > Select the Archive file and run it.
Note: After successfull execution the archive file will have green signle.
Then you can display the archived IDOC's
Hope this will help you.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Archiving IDOC

Hi all,
During Archiving IDOC , WRITE program displays number of archived Data records(EDID4) , Control records (EDIDC) , and Status records(EDIDS) for each archived file in spool.
Can anyone tell me the names of tables from where these values i.e number of archived documents per archived file for that particular session, can be obtained.

Hi Deepti,
Statistics information for every Archiving session is stored in table ADMI_STATS and ADMI_FILES.
ADMI_STATS will give you the no of objects archived in a particular session. Information on no of objects per archive file can be found in table ADMI_FILES.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Save Our Environment. Save Yourself.
Hi Experts!!!
We need to get the archived idocs based on the idoc creation date. If I give some date, then I should get all the idocs that are archived in that period. How can this be possible?
One more doubt is - I checked the logical path in FILE for archived idocs. But when I go to that in AL11, I can not see any data in that. Where can I find the details of all the archived idocs?
I serached in SCN for the same but in vain.

Archiving idocs using RSEXARCB

HI
I am using the program RSEXARCB to archive IDOCS.I want to know is there a way whether I can check if all the IDOCs have been archived or not? I dont have the IDOC numbers. This program just archives the idocs which fall in a certain time period(say last 6 months). The IDOC numbers are not provided explicitly. What are the statuses for archived IDOCS?
Please help. Its very urgent.

Ram

Hello,
You can use table content display (SE16) of IDOC status table EDIDS based on creation date CREDAT.

Archive IDOC's

I would like to archive IDOC's object. I've executed the write phase, but after that some physical files have been deleted. Then when I execute the delete phase I received the message :
Archive file 000028-003IDOC is being verified
Data stream in archive file 000028-003IDOC is shorter than expected
Error during verification when accessing archive file 000028-003IDOC
1 archive file(s) were not successfully verified
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
How can I do to avoid this error ?
Thank's in advanced

Hi,
You could try this.
If the arhive file was stored in a storage server, then go to SARA-->Customizing -> Archiving Object-Specific Customizing-> Technical Settings. Here in the section "Place file in Storage System" check the checkbox against Delete program reads from Storage System . Now try to run the delete program. It should work..

Archiving IDOCs...

Hi
As per my requirement, I need to archive unwanted IDOC in my system. Could you please put down the way for this?
Thanks in Advance.
Siva Kumar

sometimes i wish people would care to describe the whole process ...
first think what IDOCs you want to archive. you can customize this using tx. WE40 where you decide per status whether an IDOC is archivable or not.
second go to your basis guys and ask them how they want the thing set up. have a look at the technical settings section in transaction SARA, object IDOC to see what i mean. you basis guys have to configure logical/physical path and filenames using transaction FILE.
third check whether your company is using an external archiving system where archive files are to be stored (like IXOS, EASY, SAPERION ...). if so, you might want to store your archived IDOCs on the same system. you would have to set up the content management for your IDOCs using tx. OAM1 (and following) -> this is a bit difficult -> refer to help.sap.com on the details.

View Archived Idocs

HI Gurus,
Can you help me with reading archived IDocs by IDoc number. I tried SARA but that didnt help me.
Please help.

Hi Vinod,
You can use transaction WE09 to read an archived IDOC. After entering the IDOC number, click on the Data Source button and select the checkbox by Archive.
Hope this helps.

Cannot display archived idoc data records in SARA

Hello,
In our ERP system, we regularly archive idocs older than 6 months. To view these archived idocs I use transaction SARA (with archive object IDOC and infostructure SAP_IDOC_001) to search for the relevant idoc that has been archived. Once the idoc is displayed, I drill down further by clicking the magnify glass button which then displays the idoc levels:
EDIDC               Control record (IDoc)
EDIDD               Data record (IDoc)
EDIDS               Status Record (IDoc)
SRL_ARLNK      SREL: Archive Structure for Links
When I try to view the Data Records, I get a message saying "You are not authorized to display table EDIDD". According to our Authorizations department, this is not an Auth issue but rather config setup or program issue.
Why can't I view the archived idoc data records? Is there another way to view archived idoc data?

Fawaaz

SARA Archiving Idocs and the retention period , RSEXARCB

Hi Experts
I am having few questions on the Idoc Archivng -
1. I want to know the safe retention period for Idocs , I am planning to do archivng of Idocs which are 60 days older or more. How to determine the exact period for Idocs that we can keep in the database tables and also in the file system. What will the exact time in tables and also in Filesystem before we copy to a tape.
2. About program RSEXARCB , I want to schedule automatic background job for only Idocs which are in status 3 and 53 using this program every week. In this program I dont see any variable or any selection field where I can select this options. Is there any other program in SAP where we can select this options?
FYI - We are on ECC 5.0
Thanks
Chandra

Hi,
Thanks for your reply please.
But while making changes to the retention period i am getting following message:
                                                                                Diagnosis
A retention period has been entered for a profile value category, that
    is shorter than that of the billing document headers.
This is an invalid entry, because you cannot archive profile values
    before billing document headers.
System Response
The system does not permit you to save the retention period combination.
Procedure
Correct the retention period for the profile value category or the
    corresponding billing document header category accordingly.
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

How can i delete or archive idoc with status 30,02,51

I try to delete idoc with Sara and also running program RSEXARCA with.
When create variant and i want to choose the status i can't find the status 30, 02, 51.
How can I delete thus idocs with this status?
Thanks
Menashe.

Yes. WE11 Would do.
But, one request.
Next time when you post a query related to Idocs, post it in Data Transfers section. If you do so you will get very quick reply compared to the response you get in ABAP General Section.
Thanks,
