Archiving Material Error - Archive file cannot be open for write program

MSadri — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 07:55:51 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to archive Materials for first time in system. After solving all authorization issues I am stuck on below error.

Archive file E:\usr\sap\BQ1\ARCHIVE\MM_MM_MATNR_20230807_191522 cannot be opened for write program.

How to solve it ? I understand above path is local folder and I need to setup SAP file path ? How to do that ?

Hello,

Check the settings maintained in SARA

Hello,

so how the file should be stored can be set in the transaction in the AOBJ. This then refers to the customizing from the transaction FILE (or SFILE in S/4HANA).

To read data from the archived file, the archiving object/ILM object can be entered in the SARA and then the read program can be executed. This can also be done in SARI, with some effort, and can provide a better result of the data structure.

I hope this helps.
With kind regards
