How To Fix CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE182 - A source system server is archiving data; see long text

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE - MEssage class for package CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SETTINGS

• Message number: 182

• Message text: A source system server is archiving data; see long text

You cannot use the <ZK>Options for Archiving</> feature while a source
system server is archiving data. If you stop the source system server
from archiving data, you can use the <ZK>Options for Archiving</>
feature. To stop the source system server from archiving data, remove
the record from the field IGNO_ARCHIVE_DEL from table IUUC_REPL_CONFIG
in the SAP LT Replication Server system.
Note that if you stop the source system server from archiving data, it
will not affect any tables which are being replicated, that is, tables
for which triggers have been created. If you want to stop the source
system server from archiving data for tables which are already
replicating data, you must delete the triggers for the relevant tables
and recreate them. This means that if you already have a replication
running, the replication must be stopped, and a new replication
(including an initial load of the relevant tables) must be started. To
avoid repeating the initial load, you can apply SAP Note <ZU>2082199</>.
This SAP Note contains the report IUUC_REDEFINE_DB_TRIGGERS. In this
report, you can specify the mass transfer ID (MT_ID), leave field
<ZK>Lock Timeout Value</> unchanged, and then specify the relevant
tables in the <ZK>Table Name</> field. This means that you do not need
to stop and restart the replication (including dropping and recreating
triggers, and reloading the relevant tables).

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

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE182 - A source system server is archiving data; see long text ?

  The SAP error message CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE182 indicates that a source system server is currently archiving data, which can affect the replication process. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or data replication scenarios where data needs to be consistently replicated from a source system to a target system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the source system is in the process of archiving data. When data is archived, it may not be available for real-time replication, leading to inconsistencies or failures in the data replication process. This can happen during scheduled archiving jobs or if the system is configured to archive data based on certain criteria.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Archiving Status: Verify if there are any ongoing archiving processes in the source system. You can do this by checking the job logs in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) or by reviewing the archiving logs.
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If archiving jobs are running, you may need to wait until they are completed. Once the archiving process is finished, the replication should resume without issues.
  
  
  Adjust Archiving Schedule: If archiving is frequently causing issues with data replication, consider adjusting the schedule of archiving jobs to run during off-peak hours when data replication is not active.
  
  
  Review Replication Settings: Ensure that the replication settings in the SLT configuration are correctly set up to handle scenarios where data might be archived. This may involve configuring the SLT to handle archived data appropriately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for more details on handling archiving and replication. The long text of the error message may provide additional context or specific instructions.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP Support for help. They can provide insights based on your specific system configuration and logs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (Job Monitoring), SLT Configuration (for setting up and monitoring SLT), and SARA (for archiving administration).
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message or data replication issues. SAP Notes often contain patches, workarounds, or additional guidance.
  System Performance: Monitor the performance of both the source and target systems to ensure that they are not overloaded, which can also lead to replication issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE182 error and ensure smooth data replication between your SAP systems.
