    beschriftung_archive_indexer_aktiviert.png

  2. Under the Schemas menu item, create a schema of the type External Archive Document.

    The names of custom schemas must follow this pattern: cst_SAP_{SAP_Object_Name}_DOC_ARC({additional text})

    Notice

    When updating the documents, the system checks whether the SAP business object has an associated schema of type External Archive Document. If no custom schema matches this name pattern, the system uses a delivered schema with the name pattern sys_SAP_<SAP_Object_Name>_DOC_ARC.

    If you use your own class for data retrieval in SAP (e.g., to add additional fields), you must create a customer-specific version of a schema with the specified name pattern.
