• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/ARCHIVE003 - Successfully deleted &1 records from table &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/ARCHIVE003 Successfully deleted &1 records from table &2 is not actually an error message in the traditional sense. Instead, it is an informational message indicating that a certain number of records have been successfully deleted from a specified database table during an archiving or data deletion process.
  Cause:
  This message is generated when a data archiving or deletion job is executed in SAP, and it successfully removes records from a specified table. The message includes placeholders (&1 and &2) that are replaced with the actual number of records deleted and the name of the table from which the records were deleted.
  Solution:
  Since this message is informational and indicates successful deletion, there is no action required to resolve an error. However, if you are concerned about the deletion of records, you may want to:
  
  Verify the Archiving Process: Ensure that the archiving process was intended and that the records deleted are no longer needed for operational purposes.
  Check Archive Logs: Review the archive logs to confirm which records were deleted and ensure that the archiving process was executed correctly.
  Backup Data: If necessary, ensure that you have backups of the data before it was deleted, in case you need to restore it later.
  Review Archiving Strategy: If this message appears frequently, consider reviewing your data archiving strategy to ensure it aligns with your business needs.
