• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IM912 - Notification &1 archived -> use display transaction ?

  The SAP error message IM912 indicates that a notification (in this case, a maintenance notification) has been archived, and therefore, it cannot be displayed using the standard transaction for viewing notifications. Instead, you are instructed to use a specific display transaction to view archived notifications.
  Cause:
  The cause of the IM912 error message is that the notification you are trying to access has been archived as part of the data archiving process in SAP. Archiving is a process used to manage data volume by moving older data that is no longer actively used to an archive storage, which helps improve system performance and manage database size.
  Solution:
  To resolve the IM912 error and view the archived notification, you should use the appropriate display transaction for archived notifications. The typical transaction code for displaying archived notifications is:
  
  SARA: This is the transaction for archiving management. You can use it to access archived data.
  IW22: This transaction is used to display maintenance notifications, but for archived notifications, you will need to use the archive management features.
  
  Here are the steps to follow:
  
  
  Use Transaction SARA:
  
  Go to transaction code SARA.
  In the "Archive Administration" screen, enter the object type related to notifications (e.g., IM for maintenance notifications).
  Select the appropriate archive object and execute the display function to view archived notifications.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction IW22:
  
  If you want to view a specific archived notification, you can also use transaction IW22.
  Enter the notification number and if it is archived, the system will prompt you to use the archive display transaction.
