• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UBC_BAS526 - No files are deleted during simulation ?

  The SAP error message UBC_BAS526, which states "No files are deleted during simulation," typically occurs in the context of file deletion processes in SAP, particularly when using the Archive Management or Data Archiving functionalities. This message indicates that the system did not find any files to delete during a simulation run of the archiving process.
  Cause:
  
  No Files Eligible for Deletion: The most common reason for this error is that there are no files that meet the criteria for deletion based on the selection parameters you provided during the simulation.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the simulation may not match any existing files. This could be due to incorrect date ranges, object types, or other filtering parameters.
  Files Already Deleted: If the files have already been deleted in a previous run or if they were never archived, the system will not find any files to delete.
  Archiving Object Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the archiving object, which could prevent files from being recognized as eligible for deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the simulation. Ensure that the parameters (such as date ranges, object types, etc.) are correctly set to match the files you expect to delete.
  Verify Archived Files: Check if there are indeed files that have been archived and are eligible for deletion. You can do this by reviewing the archive logs or using transaction codes related to archiving (e.g., SARA).
  Run Actual Deletion: If you are confident that there are files to delete, consider running the actual deletion process instead of the simulation. However, ensure that you have backups and that you understand the implications of deleting these files.
  Review Archiving Object Configuration: If you suspect that the archiving object configuration might be incorrect, consult with your SAP Basis or Archiving team to ensure that it is set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific archiving object you are working with for additional guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SARA (Archive Administration) and SARI (Archive Information System) for managing archiving processes.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific archiving object or the error message.
  Testing in a Non-Production Environment: If possible, test the archiving and deletion processes in a non-production environment to ensure that the configuration and processes work as expected before applying them in production.
