Archiving job successful but no messages archived

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

what's wrong? When I check processing statistics, nothing has changed.

Thank you,

Olian

BTW: how to delete these archived messages? I don't want to delete what hasn't been archived, so I just want to be sure. Thanks.

Hi Olian,

when have you customized your archiving-setting?

Only messages AFTER the customiziung-date ghet archived, because the messages before do nor have the archive-flag!

Hi Mario,

hmmm, then this seems to be a trouble. Is there a way how to archive messages sent before the job has been scheduled?

What do you advise me, how should I schedule delete job so I will not delete any unarchived messages?

is it possible to run archive job every week & delete only once a month? Won't be archived messages archoved twice?

Thanks a lot,

Olian

Hi

Is there a way how to archive messages sent before the job has been scheduled?

1) --> You have to update all SXMSPMAST records. Field: ITFACTION = ARCH

Write ABAP-Report!

Please do this just for one record! Then run the archive job an see if the message was archived.

(First do in your test-system!)

If this works, you can do this with all records!

What do you advise me, how should I schedule delete job so I will not delete any unarchived messages?

2) --> If you sucessfull archived all messages, you can run your deletion job

(note: sync. messages can not be archived)

is it possible to run archive job every week & delete only once a month? Won't be archived messages archoved twice?

3) --> No, because after you run the archive job, the messages get ITFACTION = DEL

Please test first!

Regards Mario

Hey,

Chk the folder access so that the files are properly written to the specified directory.

Also check whether you have specified the correct path.

Just, incase if you are using both the source and archiving directory from FTP it wont work.
