• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/DL_DBAL_DB030 - No document with "archivable" status exists in the database ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/DL_DBAL_DB030 No document with "archivable" status exists in the database typically occurs in the context of document archiving and data lifecycle management within SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is unable to find any documents that meet the criteria for archiving in the database.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Archivable Documents: The primary cause of this error is that there are no documents in the database that have been marked as "archivable." This could be due to:
  
  The documents have already been archived.
  The documents do not meet the criteria set for archiving (e.g., retention periods, status).
  The documents have been deleted or are not present in the database.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the archiving object or the archiving settings, which could prevent documents from being recognized as archivable.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the archiving process may be too restrictive, leading to no documents being selected for archiving.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the documents you expect to be archivable. Ensure that they meet the criteria defined in the archiving object.
  
  
  Review Archiving Configuration: 
  
  Go to the transaction code SARA to check the archiving object configuration.
  Ensure that the settings for the archiving object are correct and that the retention periods are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria: If you are using specific selection criteria for archiving, consider broadening these criteria to include more documents.
  
  
  Run Archiving Object Reports: Use the relevant reports to check for documents that are eligible for archiving. This can help you identify if there are indeed documents that should be archivable.
  
  
  Check for Errors in Previous Archiving Runs: If there were previous archiving runs, check the logs for any errors that might indicate why documents were not archived.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with for any additional troubleshooting steps or known issues.
