Documentation

Definition

Flag which indicates whether the specified section of the archive file is completely known in the appropriate database index.

If this flag is not set (i.e., it has the value ' ') then there is at least one archived object for which no index entry exists in the database.

If an 'X' is set, then the archive index in that section of the archive file is complete. If the value is 'S', then the index is currently blocked for deletions.

Example

An archive file is written for archiving object FI_DOCUMENT in which accounting documents from company codes 0001 and 0002 are stored. The value 'X' is set for company code 0001, but ' ' is set for 0002. This means that all documents stored in the archive file exist in company code 0001. However, a rapid access of this index file for company code 0002 using the archive index would definitely miss at least one document.

(This is a purposefully simplified example. It assumes that archive management for FI_DOCUMNT contains only one additional entry for each of the company codes considered. You will usually also differentiate by account type.)
