You can display detailed information for each archiving session.

The dialog box contains the following information:

• Archiving session ID

• Session date, time, and user

• Status: The session can take one of the following statuses:

• 
  Finished: The archiving session has been completed.

• 
  Incomplete: The write program finished successfully but the delete program has not yet been run.

• 
  Cancelled: The archiving session was terminated with an error or is not yet finished.
• 
  Reloaded: The archiving session was reloaded to the database.
• 
  Converted: The archiving session has been converted by a program and replaced by another session whose ID is entered in the text field.
• Is to be reloaded: The content of the archiving session is to be reloaded to the database.
• Created by reloading: The archiving session contains data that can not be added to the database when another archiving session is reloaded. The archiving session can not be accessed until the reload operation has finished successfully.

All the jobs are listed here that are active for this session. To go to the job overview, choose Display Job. Here you can release, cancel or delete individual jobs.

You can create a note and a long text for the session or flag it for archiving or as invalid. You should flag a session as invalid when, for example. you discover after archiving that the data selection was incorrect. Only sessions with the status Archived can be given the status Invalid. Invalid sessions are no longer offered for archive selection.

You can use the report "RSARCH_FLAG_SESSIONS" to mark several archiving sessions for archiving or as invalid.

When selecting the archiving sessions, you can also differentiate between sessions whose archive files are in a storage system, and sessions for which no accessible archive files exist.

You can use this report, for example, to mark all the archiving sessions for a certain date for archiving or as invalid. This can be useful, for example, as an initial run when archiving archive administration data using the archiving object BC_ARCHIVE.
