SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ARCH_STANDARDS - Standard Archiving Checks

• Message number: 030

• Message text: Violation of the archiving standard "Delete Variant Name"

What causes this issue?

According to the data archiving standard, the delete variant in the
technical settings of archiving object-specific Customizing must adhere
to the naming convention to be deliverable. Moreover, delete variants
must adhere to a uniform naming convention. Depending on the archiving
object, note the following:
In the case of an SAP archiving object, the variant must begin with <LS>
SAP<(>&<)></> to be shipped to the customer. This means that the test
mode variant must be called <LS>SAP<(>&<)>TEST</> and the production
mode variant bust be <LS>SAP<(>&<)>PROD</>.
In the case of a customer-specific archiving object, the variant must
begin with <LS>CUS<(>&<)> </>so that it is available in all clients.
This means that the test mode variant must be called <LS> CUS<(>&<)>TEST
</> and the name of production mode variant must be <LS>CUS<(>&<)>PROD
</>.
In Customizing of archiving object &V1&, the test mode variant is called
&V2& and the production mode variant is &V3&. This means that at least
one of these variant names does not comply with the standard.
