Strategic Finance uses Archive Repair to fix archive numbers. When the archive and version numbers are out of synchronization, you cannot open the archive until Archive Repair resynchronizes them. When you run Archive Repair on an archived entity, the proper version numbers are restored and the archive is stored under a new filename.
Caution! | There are issues to consider before repairing archives. Consult EPM System support before using Archive Repair. |
Because the repaired data is stored under a new filename, you may not want to repair the archive. For example, if you have FreeStyle Reports using Alias Manager to reference specific archived entities, those references may break with Archive Repair.
When this happens:
If you repair the archives, open the FreeStyle Report and manually change the alias to reference the new filename.
If you do not repair the archives, you can use them to keep your FreeStyle Reports.
If you do not repair an archive, use the Archive Warning Level to override the archive check—see Defining Advanced Register Entry Settings.
To inspect archives:
Optional: Under Suspect, verify archive contents.
If an archive has an X under the Suspect column, it is corrupt. To fix these archives, use Archive Repair in Managing Entity Archives.
