How To Fix ARC_DAS_CON005 - Assigned archive store &1 does not meet the ILM Conformity requirements

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ARC_DAS_CON - XML DAS Connector: Messages

• Message number: 005

• Message text: Assigned archive store &1 does not meet the ILM Conformity requirements

What causes this issue?

The operation involved a collection or resource to which an archive
store has been assigned that does not fulfill all functional req
uirements. More specifically, the archive store is not able to propagate
the expiration date or a legal hold to lower collections and to reject
attempted deletions. As a result the data that is to be protected as
part of your Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategy may be
deleted.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Nevertheless, the operation was executed, in case you are using a
migration scenario in which the archive stores receive the ILM con
formity class at a later point in time. If this ILM conformity class is
not planned for later and you want to be assured that the ILM
requirements regarding retention times, legal hold, and data destruction
are met, you should view this operation as failed.
