Definition

The archive search strategy determines the way in which the program searches for the required data in the archive record. There are several procedures available to accelerate the search process and increase the number of hits.

This parameter is only valid for general document searches. There are separate procedures for individual document searches.

' ': Ignore archive

The program does not search for data in archives, i.e. archived data is ignored.

'1': Only search data in the archive index

The search is restricted to the archive index. This search is very quick.

Since the archive index (per data record) has a limited life and can be deleted by index deletion programs, you should assume that the archive index is incomplete (especially in the case of old data).

If necessary however, the index can be made complete using an appropriate index construction program (e.g. SAPF048S for financial accounting documents FI_DOCUMNT).

'2': Scan according to archive management and to archive index if complete

This method uses the table of contents for the archive in archive management. If this contents table indicates a possible hit in an archive, the appropriate part of this archive is scanned fully. If archive management indicates that the archive index is complete for this part of the archive, then this archive index is used to accelerate the search process. If this is the case, then there is no scan according to archive management.

Index construction programs (e.g. SAPF048S for financial accounting documents FI_DOCUMNT) can be used to make the archive index complete, thereby enabling partial archive scans.

'3': Scan according to archive management

As '2', but without accelerated scanning using the archive index. Partial scans of areas containing possible hits are fully scanned.

'4': Scan every archive fully

Every accessible archive is fully scanned.
