• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFX_GLOBAL324 - Processing of archive file &1 was restarted ?

  The SAP error message AFX_GLOBAL324 indicates that the processing of an archive file has been restarted. This typically occurs in the context of the Archive Development Kit (ADK) or when dealing with archived data in SAP systems. The message suggests that there was an interruption or issue during the processing of the archive file, prompting the system to restart the operation.
  Causes:
  
  Interruption in Processing: The processing of the archive file may have been interrupted due to various reasons such as system crashes, network issues, or user intervention.
  File Corruption: The archive file itself may be corrupted or not properly formatted, leading to processing errors.
  Insufficient Resources: Lack of system resources (memory, CPU, etc.) can cause processing to fail and restart.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the archiving process or in the ADK can lead to processing problems.
  Database Locking: If the database is locked or if there are concurrent processes trying to access the same data, it may cause interruptions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check System Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related error messages or warnings that could provide more context on why the processing was interrupted.
