using MB51 to read from archive is trying to use s_archive with authorization 01

[ronald_buchanan]

Hi I'm trying to access archived records from MB51 and the SU53 is showing its trying to access S_ARCHIVE using 01 instead of 03. Do we have something wrong or is this normal behavior? screenshot-su53-error-on-mb51.jpg

Hello Ron,

If the user selects the option "Reread Short Docs In Archive" the system calls the function module ARCHIVE_READ_OBJECT. In this function module, ACTVT 01 is checked first. If the user has no authorization for ACTVT 01, the system checks ACTVT 03.

This is the normal behavior.

Best regards,
Andreas
