  Define the recovery target (where data can be restored from) and the recycling target (where data is moved to after archiving).
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific archiving object to understand the required settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
