• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CA_TTE_TEST303 - Document archived in productive run; not archived in test run ?

  The SAP error message CA_TTE_TEST303 indicates that a document has been archived in a productive run but not in a test run. This situation typically arises during testing or validation processes when there is a discrepancy between the archiving status of documents in different environments (production vs. test).
  Cause:
  
  Different Archiving Runs: The document in question was archived during a productive run, but the same document was not archived during the test run. This can happen if the test environment does not have the same data or if the archiving process was not executed in the test environment.
  Configuration Differences: There may be differences in the configuration settings between the productive and test environments, leading to different archiving behaviors.
  Data Consistency Issues: The data in the test environment may not be consistent with the production environment, leading to discrepancies in archiving.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Archiving Configuration: Ensure that the archiving configuration in the test environment matches that of the productive environment. This includes checking the archiving object settings and the selection criteria.
  Run Archiving in Test Environment: If feasible, run the archiving process in the test environment to ensure that the documents are archived similarly to the production environment.
  Data Synchronization: If the test environment is not up-to-date with the production data, consider refreshing the test environment with a copy of the production data to ensure consistency.
  Review Logs and Documentation: Check the archiving logs for any errors or warnings that may provide insight into why the document was not archived in the test run. Review SAP documentation for any specific notes related to the archiving process.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on archiving issues.
