  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used for the archiving object. Ensure that they are consistent with the current requirements and have not been changed inadvertently.
  Re-archive Data: If the selection criteria have changed and you need the archive files to reflect the new criteria, you may need to re-run the archiving process with the updated selection parameters. This will create new archive files that are consistent with the current selection criteria.
  Check Archive Files: If you suspect that the archive files are outdated, you can review the contents of the archive files to ensure they meet your current data requirements.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific archiving object you are working with. This may provide additional insights into the implications of changing selection criteria and best practices for managing archiving processes.
