Archived data retrieval

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Regarding the retrieval of archived data I have few queries, could you kindly provide your inputs.

1. The read program from SARA does it reads only the fields those got archived? this question arised because we have archived one object and when we tried to read the archived data using read program in SARA it displayed only 3 fields. While the orginal sales order document has many fields does that mean all the feilds in sales order was not archived??

2. Only few t-codes display the archived data directly like FB03. However for most of the tcodes to retrive the archived data SAP says to use SARI. However how does the end business users will be able to retrieve data if they need archived data? giving access to SARI is not possible for the end users and to display the data as well from SARI, we need to create the info structures..but info structures occupy space and again these structures can have varied column feilds rght? how the access to end users will be provided??

for a list with transactions that can be used to retrieve data from archives, please go to service.sap.com/ilm

in the navigation window on the left drill down do Data Archiving > Media Library > Literature & Brochures

there you can find an Excel file that lists transactions and reports per archiving object
