Checking your data archiving configuration

Check the configuration for your sample archiving object FI_BANKS.

1. In the SAP GUI, enter the transaction code SARA to open the Archive Administration: Initial Screen window.
2. In the Object Name field, specify:
   FI_BANKS
3. Click Customizing to open the Data Archiving Customizing window.
4. Under Archiving Object-Specific Customizing, double-click Technical Settings.
5. In the Change View "Customizing View for Archiving": Details window, check the following settings:
   1. Make sure that the Logical File Name field contains either of the following values:
      • ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE
      • ARCHIVE_DATA_FILE_WITH_ARCHIVE_LINK
   2. Under Settings for Delete Program, check whether the Test Mode Variant contains a test variant, for example:
      SAP&TEST
   3. Check whether the Production Mode Variant field contains a production variant, for example:
      SAP&PROD
   4. Under Delete Jobs, check whether Start Automatically is selected.
   5. Under Place File in Storage System, check whether the correct archive is specified in the Content Repository field.

      For example, check if A1 is specified.

      This setting ensures that, when the archiving session is run, a request is automatically sent to Content Collector for SAP to archive the file that was generated with SAP.

6. Click the Save icon to save your settings.
