• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPIQNL_ARCH120 - Not archivable; object type &1 is used by SLCM ?

  The SAP error message HRPIQNL_ARCH120 indicates that a specific object type (denoted by &1) is not archivable because it is being used by the Student Lifecycle Management (SLCM) module. This typically occurs when you attempt to archive data that is still in use or has dependencies that prevent it from being archived.
  Cause:
  
  Active Dependencies: The object type you are trying to archive is still linked to active records or processes in the SLCM module.
  Configuration Settings: The archiving settings for the object type may not be properly configured, or the object type may be inherently non-archivable due to its nature in the SLCM context.
  Data Integrity: SAP enforces data integrity rules, and if the object is required for ongoing processes or reporting, it cannot be archived.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the object type and identify any active dependencies or records that are preventing archiving. You may need to complete or remove these dependencies before archiving.
  Review Archiving Object Configuration: Ensure that the archiving object is correctly configured in the SAP system. This includes checking the archiving settings and ensuring that the object is marked as archivable.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type and SLCM to understand any specific requirements or limitations regarding archiving.
  Use Transaction Codes: Utilize transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to check the status of the archiving object and to see if there are any specific logs or messages that provide more context on the issue.
  Data Cleanup: If applicable, perform data cleanup to remove or finalize records that are no longer needed, which may allow for archiving.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights or patches that address the issue.
