• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SO861 - Table SADX does not contain any entries ?

  The SAP error message SO861, which states "Table SADX does not contain any entries," typically occurs when there is an issue related to the configuration of the SAP system, particularly in the context of the SAP Archive Development Kit (ADK) or when dealing with archiving objects.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Entries in Table SADX: The primary cause of this error is that the SADX table, which is used to store information about archiving objects, does not have any entries. This can happen if:
  
  Archiving objects have not been defined or configured properly.
  The archiving process has not been executed for the relevant objects.
  There may be a system configuration issue or a missing transport.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: If the archiving objects are not set up correctly in the system, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the necessary transport requests that include the archiving object definitions have not been imported into the system, this can also lead to the absence of entries in the SADX table.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Archiving Object Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SARA (Archive Administration) and check if the relevant archiving objects are defined.
  Ensure that the archiving objects you are trying to use are correctly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Create Entries in SADX:
  
  If the archiving objects are missing, you may need to create them. This can typically be done through the transaction SARA by defining new archiving objects.
  
  
  
  Execute Archiving Process:
  
  If the archiving objects are defined but not yet executed, you may need to run the archiving process for those objects to populate the SADX table.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that all necessary transport requests related to archiving objects have been imported into the system. If not, you may need to import them.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to archiving and the specific archiving objects you are working with for any additional configuration steps or requirements.
  
  
  
  System Check:
  
  If the issue persists, consider checking for any system errors or inconsistencies that may be affecting the archiving process.
