Documentation

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.

Note that entries in the database always have priority - if an appropriate hit is found in the database, corresponding archived entries are ignored.

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

' ': Ignore archive

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

'0': Strategy 1-4 until data is found.

The program initially searches according to strategy '1', if there are no hits, it moves on to strategy '2', and so on.

'1': Search data listed in the archive index only.

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 from enhanced archive management. If this table of contents 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, in which case there is no partial archive scan.

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

'3': Scan according to archive management

As '2' but without accelerating the search process through the archive index. Sections of the archive where hits are likely to be made are always scanned.

'4': Fully scan all archives

Every accessible archive is fully scanned.
