How To Fix BA512 - Verification before reading is switched on

BA512 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BA - Data Archiving

• Message number: 512

• Message text: Verification before reading is switched on

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.
