Restore of XI tables from archive files?

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a question related to restore of XI tables. I have created archive jobs in SXMB_ADM to archive data which is 15 days old from XI related growing tables like SXMSCLUR, SXMSPEMAS, SXMSPHIST, SXMSPMAST, SXMSPVERS, SXMSPFRAW ,SWWWIHEAD. This archive job created archive files at the OS Level. Then a delete job deleted the entire archived data. But later I plan to restore the deleted data from the archive files.

My questions is how should I restore the deleted data of the XI tables from the archive files at the OS. Kindly explain me the procedure.

Here is the procedure.(assuming everything else is working)

1. Run SXMB_ADM

2. choose Schedule archiving jobs

3. click "Archive management"

4. Click "Information System"

5. Click "Customizing"

6. Choose "Archive Infostructure" for Object "BC_XMB" and activate it by clicking on "Activate" button.

7.Go back and click on "Status".

8. click on "Status per Infostructure"

9. Select your object "SAP_BC_XMB" and click "Fill Structures"

10. Run it in the background.

when the background job is finished try to read your archive using the 'Read Program' and click the 'Display Archived Version' Button of an archived XML Message
