SAP Note 16883 - ArchiveLink: Error from the archiving system

Symptom:

When accessing an archived document or when trying to archive a document, the following error message occurs: "ArchiveLink: Error from the archiving system." Error messages OA 201 to OA 211 with different long texts.

Cause and prerequisites

An error occurred in the addressed archiving system.

Solution
The error must be corrected in the addressed archiving system. This is generally no R/3 problem. If the user cannot solve the archiving problem himself, he has to contact his archiving offerer.
An exception would be an user error, such as the attempt to add an already archived document to another SAP document without a document being displayed in the viewer for archived documents.
