  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Structure &V2& is not known for archiving object or archiving class &V1&
    . It is not contained in the definition of the archiving object or archi
    ving class, nor was it registered dynamically during the write phase via
    the function module ARCHIVE_REGISTER_STRUCTURES.

    System Response

    The archiving program is being terminated.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the write program to see whether you actually want to archive data
    for this structure. If not, you must correct the write program.
    Otherwise you must make structure &V2& for the archiving object or
    archiving class &V1& known. Preferably this should be done through an
    entry in the definition of the archiving object or archiving class (in
    transaction AOBJ or ACLA, respectively). Alternatively, the registration
    can also take place dynamically in the write program.
