• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPA_ARCH022 - Data destroyed up to &1: do not change the data ?

  The SAP error message HRPA_ARCH022 indicates that data has been archived and is no longer available for modification. This message typically arises in the context of SAP Human Resources (HR) and is related to the archiving process, which is used to manage data retention and system performance.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an attempt is made to change or access data that has already been archived. The message specifically states that the data has been "destroyed" (archived) up to a certain date (represented by &1), and therefore, any changes to that data are not permitted.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Archiving Status: Verify the archiving status of the data you are trying to access or modify. You can do this by checking the archiving logs or using transaction codes related to archiving (e.g., SARA).
  
  
  Access Archived Data: If you need to access the archived data, you may need to use the appropriate transaction or report that allows you to view archived records. In SAP, archived data can often be accessed through specific reports or by using the Archive Information System (transaction code SARI).
  
  
  Avoid Modifying Archived Data: If the data is archived, you should not attempt to modify it. Instead, consider whether you need to create new records or make changes to non-archived data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to archiving in HR to understand the implications of archiving and how to manage archived data effectively.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe this message is appearing in error or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for guidance.
