• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_ARCHIVE_LOANUNIT012 - Archiving executed in test mode ?

  The SAP error message FVD_ARCHIVE_LOANUNIT012 indicates that an archiving process for loan units was executed in test mode. This means that the archiving job did not actually archive any data but rather simulated the process to allow users to review what would happen if the archiving were to be executed in production mode.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error message is that the archiving job was run with the "test mode" option enabled. In test mode, the system checks the data and prepares a report on what would be archived, but it does not perform any actual data deletion or archiving.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue and perform the actual archiving, you need to run the archiving job without the test mode option. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Archiving Transaction: Go to the relevant transaction code for archiving loan units (e.g., SARA for archiving administration).
  
  
  Select the Archiving Object: Choose the appropriate archiving object related to loan units.
  
  
  Change the Execution Mode: Ensure that the option for "Test Mode" is unchecked. This is usually a checkbox or a selection option in the archiving job configuration.
  
  
  Execute the Archiving Job: Start the archiving process again. This time, it should execute in production mode and archive the data as intended.
  
  
  Review the Logs: After the job completes, check the logs to ensure that the archiving was successful and that the expected data was archived.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Archiving in SAP: Archiving is a process in SAP that allows you to remove data from the database to improve performance and manage data growth. It is essential to ensure that the archiving process is well-planned and executed to avoid data loss.
  
  
  Test Mode Usage: Running archiving jobs in test mode is a good practice during the initial setup or when making changes to the archiving configuration. It allows you to verify that the correct data will be archived without affecting the production environment.
  
  
  Documentation: Always refer to the official SAP documentation or your organization's SAP guidelines for specific instructions related to archiving processes and best practices.
  
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the archiving process does not behave as expected, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or functional team for further assistance.
