Evaluating Archived Long Texts
You can display the archived long texts using the Archive Explorer of the Archive Information System. You can also access archived texts directly from the transaction S_AUT10.
For you to be able to carry out evaluation using the Archive Explorer, at least one archive info structure must be active and fully set up.
Archive Explorer
SAP supplies the archive info structure SAP_S_AUT_LTXT as the minimum instance of an archive info structure. For the archiving object S_AUT_LTXT, the field catalog SAP_S_AUT_LTXT is available. On the basis of this, you can create your own info structures, if you want to select further fields.
If the archive info structure was not active at the time of archiving, you must set it up manually (in the transaction SARI under Status).
For the evaluation of referenced long texts, there must be no period for which data exists on the database that is followed by a period for which data is archived. The program determines the long text on the basis of the data in the archive. Under these conditions, it cannot be guaranteed that the displayed texts are correct. For example, the system could display a long text that resulted from a later change, because this is the next available change in the archive. Archive the reloaded period again, or take organizational measures to ensure that the reference target of a long text does not fall within the reloaded period.
Direct Access
In enhancement mode of the transaction S_AUT10, under Long Text Logs you can directly access the archived long texts. To do so, specify that the system is to read from the archive when you choose the data source. You will find further information on the transaction S_AUT10 under Evaluation of Logged Data.
