Hi,

archive info structure will come automatically based on the application.

Hi Asha,

please take a look to the standard documentation of the Archiving Info System: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/5c/11af9bd55711d2b1f80000e8a5b9a5/content.htm]

Kind regards.

Hi,

Since it is not available in drop up box, it says that there is no Archive infostructure maintained for this archiving object.

Note: There is no archiving object as MM_EKPO it should be MM_EKKO or MM_EBAN.

To maintain infostructure for your archiving object follow the below steps:

1. Transaction SARI >> Customizing >> Select Standard infostructure for your archiving object (Ex: MM_EKKO) >> Activate the infostructure.

2. Back to the SARI screen >> Click on Status >> clicking on Per Infostructure > Select infostructure >> Fill structure.

3. Come back to SARI screen > In Archive explorer you can see archived data from selecting infostructure for your archiving object.

Hope this has answered you question.

Hi Ajay,

Your reply on the infostructure helped me a lot. I was reading through SAP help but was not able to figure out how to use MB51 for archived documents.

I had one question - I archived one material document, it does not exists in SAP now, I can view it in MB51 using archive info structure. But how do I move these archive file out of SAP to external storage system. What are different external storage system available. If you have any info/documents, can you share with me?

Thanks.

Hi,

Archiving object MM_EKPO is not found in the standard archiving object lists (Check in SARA).

If you dont find the standard info structure for your archiving object, then you can create your own custom info structure using the transaction code SARJ.

But before the creation of custom info structure, it is better to have an analysis of the write program of the archiving object in order to have an idea of tables relationship or mapping that can be used in the creation of custom field catalogue.

You can follow the below steps to create your own info structure:

1. go to transaction code SARJ

2. click on Environment->field catalogs

3. Click on the New Entries->Enter the inputs for the cloumns needed to create field catalog

4. Maintain the table relationships using "Other Source Fields"

Once you create the field catalog, create the info structure using the t.code SARJ

Enter the info structure name and click on create, enter the archiving object name, field catalog.

Then activate the info structure using the activate button.

Run the write and delete programs for archiving data..!!!

Go to transaction code SARE, enter your archiving object, there in the drop up box, you can find your newly created info structure.

This will sure solve your issue.

Thanks,
