SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TAX_EXEMPT - Message class for tax exempt certificate

• Message number: 408

• Message text: Missing entries for fast archive access via SAP AS

What causes this issue?

You want to access the archive via the Archive Information System, but
you have not made any entries for fields that are contained in an
appropriate infostructure (for example info structure &V2& of field
catalogue &V1&).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If this is the case the archive access via SAP AS will not be any faster
than the alternative sequential read of entire archive files.

System Response

How to fix this error?

Check your selections. Make entries for more fields.
If this is not possible, confirm this warning message with Enter. The
selected data will be read sequentially. This may take a long time.

Procedure for System Administrators

Check the aforementioned infostructure. If it does not contain any
fields that are used in the most common archive accesses, activate an
appropriate infostructure for field catalog .
