• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRLSO_ARCHIVE002 - No data eligible to destroy ?

  The SAP error message HRLSO_ARCHIVE002: No data eligible to destroy typically occurs in the context of data archiving and destruction processes within the SAP Human Resources (HR) module. This message indicates that there are no records available that meet the criteria for destruction based on the archiving settings.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Eligible Records: The primary reason for this error is that there are no records in the database that meet the criteria defined for destruction. This could be due to:
  
  All eligible records have already been archived or destroyed.
  The selection criteria used in the destruction job do not match any existing records.
  The retention period for the records has not yet expired.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The archiving object or the configuration settings for the archiving process may not be set up correctly, leading to no records being flagged for destruction.
  
  
  Data Status: The records may still be in a status that does not allow for destruction, such as being locked or in use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Archiving Settings: Review the archiving settings and ensure that the criteria for destruction are correctly defined. This includes checking the retention periods and any selection criteria used in the destruction job.
  
  
  Verify Data Status: Ensure that the records you expect to be eligible for destruction are not locked or in a status that prevents their destruction.
  
  
  Run Archiving Jobs: If you have not done so, run the archiving jobs to archive the data first. Only after archiving can you attempt to destroy the data.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the logs of the archiving and destruction jobs for any additional messages or warnings that might provide more context on why no records are eligible for destruction.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with for any additional configuration steps or considerations.
  
  
  Testing: If you are in a development or testing environment, ensure that you have test data that meets the criteria for destruction.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Archiving Objects: Familiarize yourself with the specific archiving objects related to HR data (e.g., PA, PD, OM) and their respective retention and destruction policies.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide guidance on the archiving and destruction process.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to manage archiving and destruction processes.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or HR module support team for further assistance.
