Message text: Activate infostructures to read archived data using SAP AS
What causes this issue?
You want to read data from the archive using the archive information
system. This is not possible, because there is no active infostructure
for field catalog &V1&.
System Response
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
How to fix this error?
To read data from the archive with the help of an index, contact your
system administrator.
Alternatively, you can select the archive files to be read manually (
<ZK>Extras</> -> <ZK>Data Source...</>). In this case no index is used
for the archive search. The selected files are read sequentially, which
may take considerably more time.
If you do not want to read data from the archive, change the settings on
the data source dialog box (<ZK>Extras</> -> <ZK>Data Source...</>).
Procedure for System Administrators
To read data from the archive with the help of an index, activate an
infostructure for field catalog &V1&.
If you do not want to read data from the archive, make sure that the
Customizing table ASDATASRC1 does not contain an entry with the name of
the current report and the activated indicator USE_INFSYS.
