  • What causes this issue?

    Verification before reading is switched on. It runs before each read
    access of the archived data. Even if only individual documents in an
    archive file are accessed, the whole archive file is verified. This can
    lead to long access times, even for individual document access of
    archived data.

    System Response

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

    How to fix this error?

    This is why we recommend switching off verification before reading in
    cross-archiving-object Customizing (technical settings). You can verify
    archive files retroactively at any time by using the program
    RSARCH_CHECK_FILES.
