The report RSBCS_RESTORE is used to restore documents from backup system. The report can be executed from transaction code SE38 or SA38.
Purpose
SAPoffice documents have been deleted from folders (and may have already been reorganized) and you want to restore them.
Prerequisites
There is a backup system where the documents still exist.
Features
The report RSBCS_RESTORE enables you to transfer documents and folders according to particular selection criteria from a backup system to the original system using RFC. It must be started in the backup system.
Selection
- Specify an RFC destination for the original system. Both users (original and backup system) must be SAPoffice administrators (value ADMINISTRATOR in authorization object S_OC_ROLE).
- Select the folder area. In general folders, you can select one folder, but this must be in the top hierarchy level. If the field is empty, all folders are transferred. If you want to restore documents from personal folders, mark at least one of the fields below the user field.
- If you want to actually transfer the documents, deactivate the test mode field. The test mode only checks if the documents exist in the target system.
- You can specify a target folder for test purposes. This can be located in the top level of the general repository or, if it does not yet exist, be created automatically (even in test mode). However, as a rule, this field should be empty. Documents are then put in the original folders. If a target folder is specified, only documents are transferred, not folders.
Note
The backup system must be an exact copy of the original system. The data belonging to the documents is put back in the original system, mostly with its original keys. The documents are therefore not completely new. For this reason, the report is not suitable for transport between any systems of your choice.
