Hi Vikram,

Yes it is possible.

You can restore the archived data back to SAP system if the reload program for that archiving object is available. For FI_DOCUMNT archiving object, unfortunately, no reload program is available (recently removed).

If you want to just read the archived data, then you can do so using either the read program or through the transaction SARI or SARE (here, you need to enter the info-structure).

Caution : Reloading / restoring of archived data back to SAP will cause a lot of inconsistencies. SAP recommends to restore the archived data back to SAP just after the archiving.

Thanks,

Shamim

Vikram,

It is not possible to reload back into the SAP database (once it is archived into the files and deleted).

But it is possible to read the files by few archving objects. Just enter the object name into tcode SARA and then click on Read.

Hope this helps.

Vikram,

If you're using the archiving object FI_DOCUMNT, then i'm sorry you can not restore the archived files since this facility was removed by SAP in the year 2007.

Yes, if you confirm the archiving object, then we can help you regarding the same.

If you're using the archiving object FI_DOCUMNT, then please check if the read program is available for retrieving purpose. Also, check if any SAP info structrues are available in the transaction code SARE.

Thanks,

Shamim
