• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_ARC_LCM_MES035 - Cause: Error from archive system or maximum mode number reached ?

  The SAP error message S_ARC_LCM_MES035 typically indicates an issue related to the archiving process in SAP, specifically when there is an error from the archive system or when the maximum number of modes has been reached. This error can occur during the archiving or deletion of data in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Error from Archive System: This could be due to various reasons such as:
  
  The archive file is corrupted or not accessible.
  The archive system is not properly configured or is down.
  There are permission issues preventing access to the archive files.
  
  
  
  Maximum Mode Number Reached: This indicates that the system has reached the limit of concurrent archiving processes or modes that can be executed at the same time. Each archiving job runs in a specific mode, and if the maximum limit is reached, new jobs cannot be started until some of the existing ones are completed or terminated.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Archive System Configuration:
  
  Verify that the archive system is correctly configured and operational.
  Ensure that the necessary permissions are set for the user or process trying to access the archive files.
  
  
  
  Check Archive Files:
  
  Inspect the archive files for corruption or accessibility issues.
  Ensure that the files are located in the correct directory and that the SAP system has the necessary access rights.
  
  
  
  Monitor and Manage Archiving Jobs:
  
  Use transaction codes like SARA (Archive Administration) to monitor the status of archiving jobs.
  Check for any running or stuck jobs that may be consuming the maximum allowed modes.
  If necessary, terminate any jobs that are not progressing to free up resources.
  
  
  
  Increase Maximum Mode Limit:
  
  If the system frequently reaches the maximum mode limit, consider increasing the limit if your system resources allow it. This can typically be done in the system configuration settings.
